Does anyone know if there’s a clear cassette available? I just got an old tandem and my son would probably have fun looking into the water like a glass bottom boat. Not sure how much help he’d be in propelling the boat.

Maybe? Aquavue? If it fits in the well.

Take a standard plug and cut out top and bottom and epoxy and screw in some some replacement perspex sheet. If you can find an older model one even better as they dont have the central band around them to get in the way

Clear packing tape will do the trick. Tape over the bottom of the drivewell from the hull bottom. It adheres well to a clean surface, has good durability, and lasts months. A little slit (or gap) lets water in so the membrane doesn't fog over. 8)

PS Polarized lenses will help cut glare from the sun while viewing. When he wants to help, let him paddle -- it's more fun for kids (splashier).
