Looking for a DF26 hatch...or where to buy, yellow preferred...but not necesary.
Snuck away to the lake this morning while everyone was asleep, it was a bit choppy but not bad. After running a few boats I dropped the DF26 in the water. About 2 minutes into the run it snuffed and dove HARD! When she came back up she was without hatch…..and then she sunk!
NOTE: expanding foam not enough to float your boat!
Only 20 feet offshore in 8 feet of water, found it in about 5 minutes, tried for 30 minutes to pull it up using the oar and then jumper cables. Finally took off my shoes, dove out of the kayak and raised her from the deep.
All my parts are pulled, dried, flushed, cleaned BUT now I am hatch-less in Oak Harbor!
If anybody has an extra or knows where I can buy one, I’d sure appreciate your help!
Thanks!
Corey
