Newb here. I just bought a tandem outfitter. I am 356 lbs. Almost sunk it with me and my kid. Gave it to him and bought the pro angler 14. It takes on water also. Where in the hell soes it come from? It has to be the rudder. I just siliconed the rudder hatch. Wth? Water can get in there. It took about an hour and a half for the pro to fill with about 10 gallons or better and it sucked. There is a problem. Help me fix it please because I love this damn kayak!
I doubt water is leaking through the rudder cover. Even if it was though, its unlikely that any water that leaked into the space under the cover would collect in amounts that you said was coming into the hull...If you purchased the PA recently, I would contact your dealer and describe the problem. Your PA should still be under warranty, and Hobie is very good with fixing warranty issues. If that much water is seeping in, it sounds like a cracked hull somewhere. Your dealer should be able to help you, or fix it for you...Or replace the PA if need be...
