Very easy to install and works excellent on my Pamlico 145T.
Kayak drain plug was a perfect fit! I bought my SUP at ocean state
job lot over 5 years ago and lost the plug somehow towing it behind
boat. Amazed that I was able to find a replacement quickly from these
guys and no price gouging. Very easy ordering and fast delivery.
Thanks!!
Works exactly as advertised . . .
Relatively easy installation . . . I
wish I had known about this
product years ago . . .
(ACK also deserves a shout-out.)
I wish they would have included directions
with this drain plug. Installation still was
easy to do. I had to buy a small hole saw
to make the hole in my kayak for the
drain,other than that it installed fine.
I use these drain plugs on a
fleet of Old towne tandem
kayaks. They fit perfectly into
the top of the hull in front and
back and make cleaning and
draining them a breeze!
I got two. One for the main
area of my boat and one to
drain my bulk head. I have
been know to throw a bag or
two of ice in the bulkhead to
keep my lunch chilling. Easy
to install and a nice cheap
little upgrade.
I purchased 2 dozen of these
plugs to use as drains on my
double kayaks. They were
exceptionally easy to install
using some silicone caulk and
rivets. They seem to be good
quality and they do the job!
Worked perfect on my L.L. Bean
Manatee, since it didnt
originally come with a drain
plug. I put a good coat of
marine sealant around it
before rivoting it in and it
works great.
Installed on my Loon 100, used
clear silicon as a gasket and
riveted on. Screws would have
worked also and probably din't
have to use silicon Need to
get another one for my Loon
138. This plug makes draing
the boat much easier. Good
price reasonable shipping,
fast service.
1. I agree with all the previous
positive comments on this plug. I
have installed the plug but never had
to actually use it to drain water, a
sponge as been sufficient to soak up
water so far.
2. What follows are comments&
critiques.
3. As there seems to be no sealant
that can truly secure to the surface
of a polyethylene kayak, this design
could be greatly improved by adding a
proper soft rubber seal. I purchased a
"marine" grade silicone seal.
Probably will be sufficient.
4. Wish this item was suggested at
time of purchase. The shipping cost
more than the plug. Better yet wish
it was simply installed on the kayak
at the factory. No one would feel the
extra couple of bucks it would add to
price.
5. Came without even the simplest of
instructions. While to some handy
folk it would seem self-evident, I
wanted to be sure I was doing the
right thing before drilling holes in
the deck of my boat. Took several
phone calls to ACK, the plug
manufacturer, etc. before I was
comfortable with procedure, including
the size of the main hole. If not a
small instruction sheet with plug, a
spot on the ACK web page laying out
the steps, materials & hole size(s)
would be welcomes.
Sorry to go on about this small item
but I was asked for my comments.
Fits perfectly on flat land area of Old Town Vapor kayak. Easy to install. Do wish it would have come with a gasket though. Had to run out and get a tube of sealant.
Excellent! Low profile base, fits bow or stern contours easily. Easy to install with a Pop riveter & two aluminum rivets. I'm really happy to now have the drain plug that Old Town didn't care to install.
Works great, and easy to install. Much more durable than the one the came with the kayak. I drilled out the rivets on the old plug, and used stainless steel screws w/ nuts to attach the new one. I also added a little plumber's putty under the base to make it water tight.
Kayak drain plugs install very easy and work great. Used only drill with correct hole size bit and also purchased and used drain plug rivets making install no problem.
The Kayak Drain Plug W/ Base is perfect! Easy to install, looks great. Most importantly, makes draining that last bit of water out of your boat hassle free. Bought them for all of my boats and will continue to do so for future boats!
A great item to retrofit a boat that did not come with a drain plug.
easy to install, works well and inexpensive! the hardest part of the
installation is deciding where on the boat to mount it.
The plug works great. It was easy to install with a couple of Well Nuts and I've enjoyed the ability to tip my Vapor 10 on it's nose and drain any excess water I have.
The water gets in easily because of my large cockpit, not to mention when I get in and out over and over.
Added this drain to the bow of my Perception Sonoma after installing forward bulkhead. Drilled undersized opening which I then cleaned up with Dremel tool to install with (2) well nuts from Austin Kayak. Looks and works like factory installation.
Great price, I installed in my amphibious ATV they work great. I would like to see the diameter of the drill bit required for installation written on the bag however.
I installed these drain plugs on two Old Town Otters, and I used the aluminum pop rivets to bend them down in place over the convex contour at the top of the stern. Once I got the three required holes drilled, riveting the plugs tight to the deck was easy.
