Kayak repair

[Ham]

My old Tarpon is finally taking on enough water that I need to repair it. My first task will be locate the source of the incoming water. IF it is a spot I can reach from the inside, I may be able to do a DYI plastic weld at home. IF it turns out to be a job that I can not do, is there a rotomolded kayak repair service in the area?

Ozarks extreme outdoors on Indian point. Eric Hansen runs that outfit and he's done a good job for me in the past. He will take care of anyone. And he's reasonably priced.

Thanks Eric!

Give the Hippo Patch a try.  Fixed my Pam 100 with it and it was still strong and leak proof after 4-5 years of being on there.  Great stuff!  You know I had that yak for over 10 years and that patch worked great.  Want to point out that I did try a plastic weld first and it only lasted a couple of outings.

Call Wilderness System and they will ship you some patch material.  Looks like weedeater string and you put it on with a small torch or heat gun.  Just like welding sort of.

Look for a hairline crack under the seat on bottom.  That is where my Pamlico cracked.  I buddy did it rocking back and forth on a log.
