LL Manta Ray 12 ???

Just curious, why are yuo selling your MK Pro Explorer? I have one also and it leaks a lot. Are you having this problem?

[PerryC]

No, mine was watertight, at least in the bays. I got the pro to replace my OK Big Game which was just too much kayak for my needs. After getting the Pro, I paddled the Marauder and realized really liked and wanted the extra room it offers and the much quieter hull.

As far as your Pro Explorer leaking, does it happen in the bays where there is essentially no water on the deck, or does it seem to take on water when water comes over the bow or sits on the hatches? Just Curious,

It happens even on freshwater lakes. I ran a hose over the hatches with little water getting in. I'qm taking it to a Malibu dealer to try to figure out. thanks, ****,

If that is the case, I would look really good at the scuppers then. That area seems to cause more problems for anglers than others. If you run a finger down the scupper and you feel a very pronounced ridge, that's one of the weak spots where scuppers can leak.

If you want to see if they leak, you can buy a small jar of plumbers putty and make a ball out of some to plug one end of the scupper. Then fill it with water and see if you get water inside the kayak from a leak. Just a thought,

I had a similar problem with my OK Drifter. It was always real wet in the hull after every paddle while my Dad’s Drifter was fairly dry. I filled the hull with a garden hose and found a whole series of small pinholes in the hull. It looked like a sprinkler. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced it no problem.
