Field And Stream Eagle Talon 12 Kayak
I have a field & stream eagle talon 12 I believe the day hatch infront of the seat is leaking. 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. I think its the OCD issues I have.

Field And Stream Eagle Talon 12
So I do end up getting water around the hatch at times so I think it is leaking at that spot. I cant stand a kayak that leaks. I'm just torn on what to do. If your hatch is going under water from time to time then water getting past the hatch seal would be normal. Dry bag for sure even without water in the yak. A cup and a half for 3 hrs may be no big deal. Not only will you get it all over everything but dirt and sand will stick to it and cause the seal NOT to seal. One cup of water after three hours on the water is not that much, but any water inside means a leak. 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. 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.

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.

IMHO, it is unreal to expect the inside of a kayak to remain totally dry. What should I do to try and make a better seal? I have done that before. 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. 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. Field and stream eagle talon 120. Location: West of Southwest Houston. I have 3 hatches and some of the water will just find a way to get in. Also if water is standing on the hatch and you open it water will run down and into the opening. Probably won't be able to keep it totally dry, no matter what. 9 posts • Page 1 of 1.

Does it happen to days, but generally I have some water inside my hull at the end of the days I have a lot. But logical thinking, if you have a sealed hull and hatches sealed then no water should get inside this is how I think and I will be working on making things seal off better because I believe I can. But once again thanks for your replys. Field and stream eagle talon 12. Well I am a big guy. I was thinking of taking it out to maybe silicone the base and some petroleum jelly on the o-ring to shed water. 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. Some lubes will also cause rubber to expand making for a tighter seal but will cause the rubber to fail after a few months. Or should I just get a dry bag and deal with the water I'm getting.
