LEAKING HATCHES

TOOLS REQUIRED:  For 6" or 8" Hatch, silicone and for 6" hatch only, a new "O" ring .

First attempt to fix the leak by applying additional silicone around the inside and outside edges of the hatches. If this does not fix the leak, check the seal around the hatch opening. In a 6" hatch, check the threads of the lid and be sure they are smooth and even. In an 6" hatch, be sure the black "O" ring is in good shape, if not, replace the "O" ring. If these solutions do not work, and the hatch is still leaking, it may have to be replaced. Contact Ocean Kayak for further instructions..

Remember, it's perfectly normal to get a cup or two of water in your kayak, especially if you've been paddling it in high surf. If your kayak is filling up with more than a few cups of water, contact your nearest dealer or call 1-800-8-KAYAKS.
