a good electrical tape will be ok , but you wont want leave your boat upside down to long if you flip it , water will get in . yes the black stuff , but not a no name brand !!!! duct tape will work also..

I use regular "Magic Tape" or scotch tape. I don't usually flip my boat or apply the tape when it is wet, so it serves the purpose of keeping water out. I picked up a reel for under a dollar at Walmart.
