I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure the guys at OEX can fix it up.

He is correct. Before I bought my Kayak the owner took it to OEX in Oceanside and they welded the bow. I have a Cobra Kayak and OEX will fix them. Good luck.

Have you tried G-flex epoxy by West?

The bug machine is taking on water not good. Take it down to OEX they will fix it back up. Hope you guys had a good day on the water other than the hole.

Thats a very easy fix! Take it down and have it fixed at OEX, I cant Imagine they would charge and arm and a leg for somethign simple. You can use hulcliner on the inside of the yak where the hole is to reinforce and help close the hole.

If you got a Tortch and a repair stick, you can fix it yourself, but I'd be carefull unless u know what ur doin

HHHhhmmmmhhhh! Torch bad. Fire Bad. Fire on kayak-bad. Hhhmmmmmhhh. Kayak melt!

Practice on something other than your kayak before taking a torch to it. Bad things can happen.

I'm sure Iceman could fix it he did a great job filling in the scupper from the fish hold of my X13!
