Wait a minute something from Maine doesn't work?  WTF the standards in this country have just fallen to new lows when boat builders in my beloved Maine can't get the job done (secretly I hope it is an import).  The shipyards up there are famous for their reliability and craftsmanship. Next we will be importing kayaks from Africa or some other place like that.

Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

If you want temporary just stick a wooden match in the hole. It will swell up with water contact.  Anyway any urethane sealer would work fine.  3M makes a plastic polyfin adhesion promoter we use at work. It allows different kinds of plastics to bond together through a chemical process. You could use 3M ultra -pro urethane sealer for that repair Greg

It's small enough you could melt a Hefty black garbage and seal the hole.
Light a piece of the bag and let it drip onto the hole. Works in a pinch.

that is BRILLIANT

It was a new kayak I unwrapped from the factory.

Fixed and sitting in my garage. New rudder assembly installed. Ready to fish. Tested by filling entire hull with water. That's a hell of a lot of water.

It's a great kayak, I took it to dealer camp and just wanted them to patch but they said due to location just get a new one...
