Scupper plugs
 

Thinking about plugging all the cock pit scuppers. I have a constant 1-2" of h2o in the cockpit most the time, unless I am paddling my azz off. So I was thinking about plugging them up, obviously with something I can remove if need be.
So my question is, do others plug them up? I know I could just lose some of this winter layer hanging off my gut, but that ain't gonna happen...
I was thinking about cutting the plugs out of a pool noodle using a piece of copper tubbing to cut it to size...

I hear you. I was marginal weight for my T140 when I bought it last year. I've since added another 15# :crying:. My scuppers are plugged with foam golf balls that I thinned out on a belt sander. They work OK but are kind of stiff/ non-resiliant so still need to be FORCED in. Looking for a better solution myself.

I keep all 6 holes plugged on my t-140. Kayak fishing stuff has scupper plugs with cords attached for 6 bucks a pair. When you have to you just pop em out quick and thier tied off so you don't loose em.

Thanks :btu: but are they water tight?

Yeah pretty water tight, but lets face it kayaking buy nature is a wet sport, more so with a sit on top.

I seen they had some at REI in Hingham, They were the Ocean Kayak plugs. They look pretty flexible

these look like they would work well...

The pool noodle is what i use. It works OK. YOu need to make sure you cut them about 1/8" larger than they need to be, and they tend to wear out quicker than the pre-made ones. One noodle can get you a ton of them so it only costs like 10cents per.
