I have hearing loss. The incidental grass sliver reminds me to go along with a tissue and see where it is sucked in. And... don't ever buy a kayak with a skeg - it adds to the weight of the kayak, robs the expeditioner of vital storage space - and packing time.
@bigpondkayaks Ай бұрын
@@gardensofstone2905 what you could do is locate where you think the hole is, let the pressure equalise first time round, then do it again with tape over where you think the hole is and if it holds pressure you have found the hole, or a way of confirming you have fixed a hole that’s obviously damaged by using this technique, still handy if you can’t hear the hissing noise

@@justinprice7235 it’s not really a model as such just an early mannta sea kayak that I now make in composite, the rear hatch is a rubber on on a rim very water tight, the front is a cut section of the deck screwed down with thumb screws and it squashes onto some foam around the inside of the rim this is also water tight
