What should I do to try and make a better seal? Joined: Mon Oct 09, 2006 1:00 pm. I'm just torn on what to do. Dry bag for sure even without water in the yak. Location: West of Southwest Houston. Field and stream eagle talon 12 fishing kayak. Does it happen to days, but generally I have some water inside my hull at the end of the days I have a lot. I can understand some water coming in if your running some class three rapids and your boat flips over but if it leaks during normal use I cant stand it. I cant stand a kayak that leaks. So I do end up getting water around the hatch at times so I think it is leaking at that spot. But at same time I would like not to get petroleum jelly on wallet, keys, and other things.
Some lubes will also cause rubber to expand making for a tighter seal but will cause the rubber to fail after a few months. I'm guessing that they didn't use any kind of silicone around the hatch to begin with so I think it is seeping past it under the hatch. Agree with above, not much water for 3 hours on the water. Field and stream eagle talon 12. But once again thanks for your replys. I was thinking of taking it out to maybe silicone the base and some petroleum jelly on the o-ring to shed water. I have 3 hatches and some of the water will just find a way to get in.
One thing about using lubes on your seals is to not use to much. I have a field & stream eagle talon 12 I believe the day hatch infront of the seat is leaking. Try cleaning all hatch seals and putting olive oil on the rubber gaskets. Is water coming over onto the hatch.
Probably won't be able to keep it totally dry, no matter what. Or should I just get a dry bag and deal with the water I'm getting. Not only will you get it all over everything but dirt and sand will stick to it and cause the seal NOT to seal. Thanks for the replies, I understand this is not much water but like I said before I am new to this and was curious as to how much was normal. A cup and a half for 3 hrs may be no big deal. I think I'm going to contact Dick's Sporting Goods since I have only had this yak for two weeks. Not to mention the water that gets blown off my paddle into my plastic boat. Look for water trails around screws, rivets and places that go all the way through the hull close to and above the water line when you are in the boat, something may need to be tighten or sealed a little more. Also if water is standing on the hatch and you open it water will run down and into the opening. If you are looking to ease your anxiety about getting a dozen ounces of water in your plastic boat while flailing around, sitting 4 inches above the water line - consider it eased. Good Luck with finding the crack or small hole? Field and stream kayak 12 foot eagle talon. Or do you just think that is where the water is leaking? Doughboy, do whatever feels right to you.
Ok so I'm new to all this but how much water in the hull is normal? Thanks for any suggestion. Joined: Wed Mar 22, 2006 8:23 am. Location: Stephenville, TX. I think it's a really high goal to expect NO water to get inside your boat.
I wear long pants and boots even when it's 100 degrees out and sit with my legs over the side, bringing them in and out 20 times an outing brings water into my boat all over the place. If your hatch is going under water from time to time then water getting past the hatch seal would be normal. 9 posts • Page 1 of 1. It's not much water had it in the water this past weekend for 3 hours and maybe a cup and a half of water, but it's of course getting things wet that I put in the day hatch.
