Plastic weld. Harbor freight.

Benjamin Edsell - 6 years ago

rubber golf balls will fit right in the holes and make them watertight

SC EM - 6 years ago

So many watched, saw, and still never learned a thing. My trash can is made out of better plastic than this junk. Stop wasting your money on that hyped up over-priced crap. Fixing that boat is like putting ducttape on a cheap cardboard box boat.

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

SC EM this is a very affordable fishing kayak in its class. $700 .. in result it is made out of low quality materials but it’s all I could afford at the time and has caught me a lot of fish.

Keith Castleberry - 6 years ago

What a freakin hike!!! You gotta love fishing and kayaking alot to do that. Good video. Sorry about your wheel dolly and kayak.

gunlover1955 - 6 years ago

Just get some PVC wall through they will fix you right up

raymond bailey - 6 years ago

you are meant to put the kayak in the water and take the wheels out as it floats.Zoffinger youtube channel is awesome at repairs though.

Vicki k Gibson - 6 years ago

Why do so many guys tug and then real so darn fast?? Just get the hook set and real it in easy! No lost fish then! Just my experience anyway!

So what was the end result ?
How didja make the repairs?
I was thinking some rubber roofing
Kinda like a pond repair
Or didja plastic weld it
Might be able to rent one

BassMoore - 6 years ago

couple questions on your gear... okachobee fats tackle bag?? and is that a canon sl2 camera? thanks

rkygriz - 6 years ago

Watching your video makes me very glad that I chose the dolly with the keel rest rather than the one that goes through the scupper holes for my sit on top kayak. Hope you've gotten yours repaired !

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

rkygriz i did!

Wesley Williamson - 6 years ago

Use flex seal

Jim Taylor - 6 years ago

Should have gotten one of those dolly`s that you strap on not one that fits in the scupper holes

Mike H - 6 years ago

blowtorch and polyethylene tube.....

Vincent Blackwell - 6 years ago

Nice video!1 I,m psyched to go to a nearby lake. Jamb some PVC pipe into the holes to seal the sides and then us epoxy?

J - 6 years ago

Grab a hdpe plastic bucket at local hardware store. The type with the recycling triangle and a #2 inside the triangle. That is the type of material your kayak is made of. Cut out a piece of the bucket to the approximate size of the hole in Kayak. Melt down your patch piece to around 400-450° (oven ,toaster oven,etc..) . Carefully Warm up the kayak where the repair is needed (use heat gun or small pencil torch) . When kayak is warmed up and patch is pliable stick them together, mold to the original shape, let cool. Good as new!!!!

Wow, I can't imagine how you feel. But I did notice that you have a Field and Stream shadow caster if I'm correct, Dicks and Field and Stream have a great return policy. Good luck and again sorry about your kayak.

Jeff Stanford - 6 years ago

Peter Garm 3rd - 6 years ago

Sleeve it with a double end thread pipe. Fill the void with marine grade silicone and in the inside, marine grade epoxy. Those wheel bars broke because I had to much slop in the scubber holes

01silver auto - 6 years ago

Flex seal will fix it

ron dill - 6 years ago

Did you learn something on this trip.... Kayak's are NOT made to haul all of the junk you put on there!! If you gonna add wheels... get a small Flat Bottom Jon boat with wheels on the back!! Hahahahahahahahahaha

Kyle Thoms - 6 years ago

Too much junk on your boat for those little dolly wheels. Use your head man!

On Target Fishing - 6 years ago

Sorry about your kayak. Im sure you can fix that with no worries of leakage. Plenty of people on these comments seem to have an understanding of fixing kayaks. At least it wasnt a Bass Boat that you have to fix...LOL.
If you have never tried it before, you should try Float Tube Fishing. We fish out of float tubes quite a bit and its a blast. Take Care friend.

David Parker - 6 years ago

Why didn’t you drive the truck to the water??

Josh H - 6 years ago

Why do you put the fish back In the water? you can melt polyethylene plastic and slowly plastic weld it in. Then finish with marine sealant

CobraBrown - 6 years ago

Flexseal lol

Big Daddy - 6 years ago

fiberglass it, cheap and effective

James St. John - 6 years ago

Nvm

James St. John - 6 years ago

What brand kayak truck do you use?

Explorer Mike - 6 years ago

You can fix it. there are instructions on Youtube. A heat gun and a slice of empty plastic milk jug or laundry detergent bottle.

Thomas Janos - 6 years ago

If you can get it use 3M DP8005 or DP8010. They are industrial and not packaged for consumer use but you may be able to find some The other problem is they require an applicator and mixing nozzles can get expensive but it is cheaper than replacing your kayak they work similar to epoxies but are a structural LSE Acrylic made for polyethylene like your kayak. I do tech support for 3M industrial adhesives and tapes. Good luck

Meadow Brook outdoors - 6 years ago

Jeff Hall - 6 years ago

I bought an 80 watt plastic welder from Harbor Freight for less than $20 and used it to repair two kayak hulls. Your kayak can be saved using this tool. I wrote a blog about that experience here:
http://kayakfishingcountry.blogspot.com/2017/10/new-toy-new-troubles-plastic-welding-2.html

zrulz - 6 years ago

I also recommend plastic weld. You should have, and still should, put a length of PVC pipe over those cheap metal pipes that go into the scuppers to act as a sleeve to protect the scupper walls. I would also add a gusset going forward and backward to limit the rocking in the scuppers forward and backward.

Paul Matheson - 6 years ago

Man, you are one dedicated fisherman but if you think that place is beautiful, you need to move to the Gulf of Mexico.

Dario Ortiz - 6 years ago

Fill it with spray foam. Make a batter base to set the yak on the wheels instead of two pointy sticks

Slim Jim - 6 years ago

All-Fix 2 part everything proof epoxy putty. Works on kayak hulls...worked on my jet ski hull too. I would just cut some lengths of PVC pipe and use the putty around them. Squish them in, and sand everything flush. Nothing will ever break through those scupper holes again.
Stuff dries so hard you can drill, and tap it.

Bern Pisarcik Jr - 6 years ago

Rough it up and some Devcon

Ghost Freight - 6 years ago

Marine JB weld. No big deal, just make a few coats

elyh777 - 6 years ago

Some advice, flip the LCD screen on your camera around so I don't have to watch you talk to yourself. As far as the kayak, just get a plastic welding kit and melt some new plastic into the hole.

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

elyh777 Great advice. Mostly just worrying I have everything in frame because my camera is at 25mm when videoing . So it’s a challenge to make sure my face is actually in frame.

James Craft - 6 years ago

Repair the scupper holes with some PVC pipe and epoxy.

Derrick Morris - 6 years ago

Satan's biggest trick is convincing mankind that scupper carts are awesome

Faith M. - 6 years ago

Foam up the holes and cut it flush then add a layer fiberglass with epoxy, once dry, spray that latex water sealer about two or three layers. If u want an extra layer add one more layer of fiberglass.

Worked for a cousin of mine :)

Hey, sorry your plan for adventure turned out badly. Live and learn and best wishes to you. When you are alone, consider all the worst outcomes possible for any bold activity or risk. Stay optimistic, and you should feel good that you have learned something useful without personal injury! Good luck, continue to have fun!

Gilbert Robles - 6 years ago

Thanks for keeping it real. Most YouTube channels would place this footage at the "behind the scenes".. Sorry about your yak. I think it can be fixed.

Travis Hall - 6 years ago

There's no way I could I this video without subscribing and liking. I seriously hate that you ended up with so much damage. I would rather see ya wearing a PFD. Never know what may happen. Good fishing. Tight lines. And God bless.

Doug Mitchell - 6 years ago

One reason I'm wary of those scupper hole carts, kind of a poor design. A lot of stress concentrated in a small area

Ronove - 6 years ago

Have you thought about getting some PVC pipe about the same diameter, then coat them in plenty of silicone or other sealant, put them into the holes and then use more sealant to make sure they don't leak. Or plastic weld them in and your problems are solved.

Clyde Peppin - 6 years ago

That was exactly my first thoughts. Don't know why it wouldn't work. Reeled You Inn seems to have much the same concept. A bit better described.

911 Tech - 6 years ago

I think a pro could fix that easily. I would not try it yourself. That is not a place you want to begin learning how to weld a kayak.

weedsnager - 6 years ago

Plastic welding is the only option....get a 5 gallon buck, and a plastic welder from harbor freight. It's very easy to do

weedsnager - 6 years ago

Josiah Ottem you’re lucky...most epoxy states on the package that it doesn’t stick to Hdpe

Josiah OOttem - 6 years ago

weedsnager Actually Epoxy is the easiest,and cheapest way to fix it. Got a kayak that was on a billboard. It had 48 bolt holes for mounting it. Don't ask why. Anyway The yak is still leakproof 7 years later.

Reeled You Inn - 6 years ago

I would fix it using PVC flared on the end, soften and mold the Kayak to the flared PVC. Epoxy the one end where the flare is. Once dry, grind and sand smooth, cut other end flush with deck and seal the edge with silicone to allow for flex. Problem solved.

Delmus Ingle - 6 years ago

You can mend holes in the poly- plastic kayaks with wood burning heat tool and a poly plastic garbage can from wall-mart for material.. I have even added fins and other things to mine, compartments, paddle holders, etc. The iron comes with a point tool, flat tool, etc. Even cola bottles can be melted for material. Learn to avoid burning blackening the plastic , avoid breathing any smoke. .... good luck

JaimeAstin - 6 years ago

ouch!!! Plastic weld and goop the mess out of it. Poly is so hard to repair. Glad I used the wheels with straps. I really hope everyting turns around for you. Good luck and good fishing.

Man that sucks r.I.p kayak , hopefully you can fix it with some flex seal or something. Plastic bond or jb weld. Lots of awesome videos and memories made in that guy. Keep up the killer content man

shannon stephens - 6 years ago

Spray rubber dude! hot glue first then spray! good luck brother!

Harold Sukhbir - 6 years ago

Find the size pvc to match the bore of the existing holes with pipe being slightly smaller than bore. Bore the holes in kayak to fit pvc pipe. Cut pipe with internal pvc stoppers added to exact length of hole. Heat pipe ends over open flame until discoloured. Apply epoxy to both ends of pipe whilst positioned in place. Observe recommended dry time. Cut pvc pipe to cover existing pipe ends in broken cart, glue in place.

yourpapi fo sho - 6 years ago

Bro my people can fix it for a budlight. With some socks and silicone it's a done deal. you will be back on the water in no time lol

Bill Forshey - 6 years ago

Epoxie, duct tape, inflatable life vest.

Do some research on compatibility with the plastic but urethane windshield adhesive would probably fix that the best. That stuff is amazingly strong.

Go go Harbor Freight and get a plastic weld kit and plug up the holes.

Caught it Outdoors - 6 years ago

That sucks! But good fishing. Awesome scenery.

Tracy James Tavares - 6 years ago

Zac Mac Fishing - 6 years ago

Great catches! I liked and sub’d. Hope you’ll sub back! Sorry about your yak.

Art Whitting - 6 years ago

It can be fixed with nylon enforced tubing the 3m5200, Stop putting stuff thru the scuppers, they are the weakest point in a kayak get a set of wheels that fold.
nice bass.

368engbn - 6 years ago

Anything can be fixed.Use your head and do some research.

Mk Genereaux - 6 years ago

FLEX Seal!!!

wavygr - 6 years ago

My guess the Kayak is trash now. I will do you a favor and haul it to the dump for you. I would throw away the trolling motor too if I was you.

BassMan Strikes - 6 years ago

Use the wheels and axle from that bad scupper hole cart and use to make a pvc cart that fits in the channels on bottom of the yak, then just strap it to yak with Cam lock strap.

BassMan Strikes - 6 years ago

Did you get the scupper holes fixed?

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

BassMan Strikes great idea! Thanks so much

Clay L - 6 years ago

Sorry to hear about your kayak! You can fix those tears easily, though. You need some of the same material it's made of, and a heat gun. There are several videos on here as to how it's done. The repairs are very sturdy, and if you use thicker materials, you can probably build up those scupper holes to where they are "lined" with something stronger, like PVC or something like that. It'll handle the wheel frame more easily. Good luck!

Jesse Stanfield - Broken Curl Outdoors - 6 years ago

Doua Lor - 6 years ago

White 5 gallon plastic bucket. Cut a nice piece out, Heat gun it a little bit.. low heat your kayak and smear it on it. The plastic(s) should bond together easily and you'll be back out on the water in no time.
Good luck with everything..

P.s. that spot looks like a killer frog spot :o

Brandon Sears - 6 years ago

Had the same thing happen on mine 4 years ago. I ended up using JB Weld. No issues since. For good measure though, I applied to the walls first, let it dry, then JB welded a cut piece of pool noodle into the hole and JB welded it in. I lost the benefit of the scupper, but no leaks.

David Reed - 6 years ago

GET THE LANDING GEAR BY BOONDOX PERIOD

Joe billisi - 6 years ago

Small town Bassin' - 6 years ago

Dude that sucks! I posted a repair video that would seal that up pretty good. Take a look at it and let me know what you figure out.

chetyoder - 6 years ago

scupper hole carts are never a good idea, during the roto-molding process the material never gets as thick in the kiss off/scupper hole areas, the outside surfaces become much thicker, I design tooling for the roto-molding process so I have some experience with this

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

chetyoder that’s awesome. Thanks for sharing. I learned the hard way this time.

Bass Slayer - 6 years ago

Bummer man!!!

Addicted Angler - 6 years ago

Sorry buddy. Did you fix it yet???

Garrett Stilley - 6 years ago

You can fix it with jb weld but for future reference the only company that builds there scupper holes beefy enough to cart around like that is hobie... good luck fixing it!

Garrett Stilley - 6 years ago

Yep I was gonna get one for my lure but read into it and decided the wheel in the keel mod would work just fine... glad to see you got it fixed

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

Garrett Stilley yeah I found that out the hard way. You live and you learn.

Sean Gilliam - 6 years ago

never use a scupper hole cart

Michael Jones - 6 years ago

Just a suggestion to prevent reoccurrence you can make your own that rides under the kayak with the weight on horizontal beams and using a four way fitting have it go through the scupper holes for positive location of the cart. Look at palmetto kayak cart instead of the t use a four way with pipe suitable to fit through your scupper holes as well

mark lombardi - 6 years ago

this guy on you tube called zoffinger AKA martie can show u how to fix your kayak. hit him up , hes a good guy

Fill the damaged scuppers with expanding foam. Cap with 3M Panel Bond.

AWGI - 6 years ago

Honestly i have fished chatters through some thick weeds and lillies and i didnt really have any issues. My had to pull a couple weeds off once out of every 10 cast. The original z man chatter.

AWGI - 6 years ago

Bottomland Outdoors they always do! Also i’d recommend putting a little more $ into your next set of wheels. Better materials, you will never have to worry about that happening my friend.

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

CantTouch This yeah I was working it pretty well. But zoom fluke were doing the trick!

Cherokeeman - 6 years ago

Why don't you use two sets of wheels, one in the front scuppers and another in the middle scuppers? Then you can mostly pull it like a wagon or cart. Less strain and work.

Ricardo Chavez - 6 years ago

improvise : two sticks slightly larger than the holes where it broke and jam it in there and should work to fit in the scupper holes and take it back to your truck!

White Raven - 6 years ago

Can you glue a piece of PVC pipe through the scupper holes and seal with silicone?

Jordan Moore - 6 years ago

JB weld water weld (putty epoxy). I fixed a scupper with same problem 4 years ago and have never had to revisit it.

Matt Sayler - 6 years ago

Use jb weld quick steel putty it will plug it for sure I have used it to plug holes in aluminum boats from bashing rocks

Cruzerlou Outdoors - 6 years ago

Get some G Flex gel epoxy from West Marine.
I've watched holes and I've mixed chopped fiberglass to rebuild my keel.
You can fix you yak with this stuff.

Chatty Monkey Don - 6 years ago

Can verify the G Flex is amazing. Bought an Old Town canoe made from HDPE for cheap because the owner crashed into a rock or something and crunched the front pretty good. Used some fiberglass cloth and the G Flex and it's good as new. Just watch some videos to see how to use it.

Zanake Yang - 6 years ago

Flex seal yo

timijen 56 - 6 years ago

melt down an old milk jug and use the molten plastic like a body filler. It works.

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

timijen 56 awesome thanks so much!

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

J yeah If you’ve already got a fan base but if your new like I am you gotta stick your neck out a little. I’ve gotten 100+ subs this week which is good for me so clearly others like the style of my videos. I’ve posted boring titles before and that doesn’t get people’s attention amongst all the other exaggerated titles on YouTube. Honestly I hate having to exaggerate but it’s just the name of the game. Sorry

J - 6 years ago

Can't resist saying. Use some fishing line and lash a splint of wood from a branch to fix the damn dolly

Alan S. - 6 years ago

Thanks for the video. As for the repairs, I'm thinking you can. My first thought was that tape I see advertised on TV, FlexTape. Maybe fill the holes with a bit of expandable foam for home insulation first, then smooth it off and then tape.

Steven Cooper - 6 years ago

epoxy Putty for it's the best stuff you can pack that in there it was hard like steel no leaks that's what I do

Sporkuser - 6 years ago

Scupper carts are never a good idea for any kayak but Hobie's. They are the only boat that has scuppers strong enough for a scupper cart. Get the C-Tug cart for your next one. It's worth the money and you won't be getting a new yak.

Benjamin Quirk - 6 years ago

Russell Bradley thank you

Russell Bradley - 6 years ago

Benjamin Quirk it’ll work you just have to set it and the strap just right. On my slayer I like to place the strap on either side of a rod holder on the track or the cleats for the bungee to prevent slippage. Do not use ratchet straps!!!

Benjamin Quirk - 6 years ago

Sporkuser I have a #BigTuna by JacksonKayaks any idea how the C-Tug would work on it. It has such a wide bottom? Thanks

High Desert Fishing - 6 years ago

Bull. I've seen plenty of hobies get scupper cracks from carts, poles, and straps.

Russell Bradley - 6 years ago

Hobies are just as prone to this as any other premium kayak. Scupper hole carts are junk

ronald martel - 6 years ago

it is thru scupper are the weakest part of the kayak,i have my 2 wheels lean under the kayak not in scuppers.

Ron J - 6 years ago

b4 i watched the whole video i knew your scupper holes were fkd..never use a scupper cart.

Michael Johnson - 6 years ago

You probably learned this after the fact, but most kayak manufactures do not recommend using scupper hole carts. In fact, most will tell you that your hull warranty will be void if you use one. Always use a sit-on-top cart.

You can make a pvc set of yak wheels for it I do you can find how it’s done on you tube I go one step farther by reinforcing the up rights that go in scuppers with a 3/4” Dwell 36” cut in half and epoxied in makes them super strong

Edward Egnor - 6 years ago

Put a rectangular hatch in the space or a 8” round in front of them then plastic weld the from the inside be the easiest way

Bill Curles - 6 years ago

Go get some plastic tubing the size of the whole, cut it to fit and sleeve the existing wholes. Plastic weld or silicone in place. Don't throw away a good kayak. Change the wheel set up to strap on vs sleeve on system.If you can't get it to work let me know and I'll fix it for you.

not something ide take offshore..scupper repairs seldom last

Bottomland Outdoors - 6 years ago

William Curles I used scupper plugs to fill the hole with flex shot and a patch. I uploaded a video on the fix. I’m hoping it will stand the test of time.

Dang man that sucks. Post a video of how you fixed it if you attempt it.

Split Lips - 6 years ago

Scupper carts are horrible brotha, this shit happens to them all the time, your lucky it didn't crack your scupper holes. FYI, do to these problems, using a scupper cart instantly voids the warranty on your hull

KEEPCASTING - 6 years ago

Man that’s tough. I hope it works out for you, so you can get back on the water

MICHAEL LEAKE - 6 years ago

Try some Gator Patch, I've heard good things about how well it works.

Rich Frollini - 6 years ago

Whether you fix or replace the kayak, you should consider the C-Tug cart. Just about any scupper-hole cart is eventually going to put unnecessary stress on the plastic.

canario - 6 years ago

Plastic welder would fix that no problem.

Wojciech Gierczynski - 6 years ago

Get C-Tug cart. Holds up to everything no need to use scupper holes. This is link

Wojciech Gierczynski - 6 years ago

I had C-Tug cart for the longest on my NuCanoe Frontier 10 and it works great. Now with Frontier 12 i got Boonedox Landing Gear which is more expensive (aprox. $300) but its life saver. With Boonedox no need to take wheels off. You just twist them down if you rolling down the road and ones in the water just put them up. Link:

4 DA KIDZ Fishing - 6 years ago

That sucks big time bro, but great job on the bass. I'd buy a fiberglass repair kit and cover it over and would be way cheaper than a new yak lol

I've often referred to myself as the dumb guy.. I just keep it simple.. chum, get the bums around and eating.. then hook the next chunk and feed it back into the slick.. pretty dumb, simple, and effective.. lol

Mr. Plainview - 6 years ago

Gotta love what feels like a 3 mile trek in one way dragging a loaded down kayak. That place looked awesome though.

Dalton Smith - 6 years ago

What action rod do you use for jigs?

OhioOutDoorsmen - 6 years ago

Plastic weld it

Russell Bradley - 6 years ago

OhioOutDoorsmen even if he did that’s the structural keystone of a yak. It’ll never stay sealed due too the stress that spot holds.

Never, EVER stick anything thru scuppers! Get a C-tug cart for the next one and chalk it up to lesson learned.

Dan Platt - 6 years ago

Sorry about your kayak..we all live and learn. Least you did the best to get it back to the truck. Many ways to fix it with fiberglass and duraglas. If you need any info on fixing it here is my email. danielplatt77@gmail.com

Also what camera do you use for your videos? I’m looking at buying one but have a budget of $100...

Bass Nazi - 6 years ago

It's all good, the experience is the true reward, people forget that now days. Plus, they were a great way to break in the Lew's Mach Crush combo I had got when it was just released lol.

BucketMouthBass - 6 years ago

Bass Nazi I agree I would avoid buying a GoPro because they make you pay for the brand! I’m currently using a DB Power that I bought on amazon for $40 but it is not good if I film myself so I want to upgrade.

Bass Nazi - 6 years ago

Like I said if you can afford to go with a Yi, I would go that route before the Akaso, but the Akaso is hard to beat for the price and the sets on Amazon have great stuff for starting out, been looking at them myself and just can't justify getting GoPro when they cost so much more just because of their early market share.

Bass Nazi - 6 years ago

Will do, hopefully I'll have some up myself before long. Wish I had already with the 10lbs LM I pulled in just before Christmas and the 6ft Alligator Gar before that lol.

Bass Nazi - 6 years ago

BucketMouthBass might can look at the Akaso brand, if you can find an older model Yi close to that they actually have Sony image stabilization and little better reviews.

SWVA_bass_94 - 6 years ago

Use some of that expanding foam it’ll seal it right up lol

Bass Nazi - 6 years ago

That's what i was saying, then can even sand it down a little and use an epoxy fiberglass repair patch on both sides and when the epoxy soaked fiberglass hardens it will be tougher anyway.

WILKINS' OUTDOOR ADVENTURES - 6 years ago

SWVA_bass_94 worth a shot anyways!!

Bass Nazi - 6 years ago

Oh no, haven't found out for sure yet but from the title that sucks man.

Bass Nazi - 6 years ago

Might can actually use the hard foam insulation like great stuff and try to fill in the gap then actually coat both sides after smoothing it with fiberglass repair and epoxy.
