I need something for my kayak; could this get wet?

It appears like it would withstand water, but I don't know for sure. The wedge is very hard similar to a board, if that would be a problem in the kayak.

You absolutely do not want to let it get wet. Once it fully dries out by evaporation (no heating) it will probably work.

I wouldn't want mine to get wet, but I'm pretty OCD. It is made of a material that isn't waterproof but I'm sure if it's just "misting" it would be fine

I used it to seal rain gutters. It may add a little protection to the bottom of Kayak. There is probably better products for what you are looking. Check your hardware store.

If your kayak is solid plastics and molded without plugs for access - you have a crack or seam coming apart a little bit or there would be no water in there. Personally i would get a grommet to seal a hole of about an inch in diameter that would comfortably seal your plastic thickness. One designed for sheet metal would likely be too thin to lip over the plastic. Then i'd drill a hole in the top center of the kayak with a good holesaw, tip it upside down, and seal it with the plug. Your hose/bilge pump is inevitably going to reach a point in which suction is broken, and the water remaining in the hose will drain back into the kayak shell. Good luck.

My son uses it for his wheelchair -- it works fine for that and he loves it. Requires quite a bit of dexterity so I imagine it would be fine for kayaking.

No it can't get wet. It's not water tight at all. It's made only for indoor use.

I really do not think it would be an issue. This kayak feels to be thicker than an above ground pool liner. If it does puncture they give patches so you can fix it.

Although our kayak rack is in the garage and rests on boards due to dirt floor, I would agree with Scott and LC. Their precautions make sense. It may be possible for the top kayak to become dislodged if it gets blown about by extra strong winds.

I personally have this item (but in color). And it works it works fine for what you need. You can adjust the sensitivity as well, which is always good.Are you looking to mount the transducer to the kayak? From my experience too - mine has been soaked with water/sea spray and I have not had any issues. However, you will need to wipe any saltwater off (if you are doing any ocean kayaking). This product is simple and easy to use.MarineHQ.

I don't see that a spray skirt would help. I ride high enough over the water that I don't get wet during theride. However, I do have to get wet while getting in & out of the kayak. I go up to my knees near the shorebefore entering the kayak. I see no way to avoid that. Here in Western New York that limits my seasonto June - Sept. A wet suit would help, but it is bulky & costly.

It's not really weather PROOF, per se, but it is fairly well weather resistant. I have had mine out in a moderate rain storm with no problems. I think kayaking, carefully, with it would not be a problem. I do not think that water would get inside just from splashes, but submerging it would still cause problems I think. Also, I would be more worried about the salt in the water. After getting it home I'd clean it very thoroughly if it is exposed to salt water. In the end, if it were me, I would still get some kind of bag or housing for mine if I were to want to take it salt water kayaking, in case of submersion and the salt water.

My wife put 2 picnic table kits from Home Depot in a safari basket mounted on top of these. I think they should support your kayak!

I wouldn't recommend it. It's a very stable kayak, but when you have the element of waves, the likelihood that it will take on water increases. I would say to get a kayak that is made specifically for the ocean.

I believe you could. The foam cushions the kayak when the straps are secured over it. The cushions hold good onto the vehicle without much motion at all. The kit comes with three straps. One for the middle and two for front and back.

It would definitely hold the kayak, the safety straps might not be long enough for the stern. Measure the circumference of the stern of the slayer for full safety.

Well, it's made out of a foam-like material, so it would become damp. You might be able to pull it off though if you covered it with a plastic bag and taped it up so the water didn't get in.
