Craig, thanks for this write up.

scallen, thanks for offering to invite me over to fix this

Kayak Connection Santa Cruz, Thanks for the free weld material

Home sick today and decided to try and fix this myself. Kayak Connection gave me some free material. I had a mysterious hole about the size of a Riffe spear shaft :) that needed to be repaired, as I was taking on water. Followed Craigs instructions and it took a total of 5 minutes to fix, the material heats up quick. Honestly I don't care how it looks so I didn't spend much time on making it look pretty, but the hole is filled and it was EASY.

Total cost $6 (for the burnzomatic torch), good idea to have this torch, a few tools and the material on every trip. I used the foil finger tip to smooth things out, added a little extra material to be sure nothing gets in.
