I hit a rock and bent the fin bar, it was sticking out like a completely snapped forearm though skin. I bent the rod back and it went back into the fin. Should I be reinforcing that hole? Gorilla tape? |

Bicycle tire repair patch. The rubber,glue and patch will hold fine. |

Gorilla tape is a "magical material".....easy to replace if needed. |

I've heard marine goop is good as well as using a lighter and melting it closed. Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk |

I like the suggestion about bicycle tire patch. BUT tape is better for replacing when needed. |

Thanks It is just a small hole about 4 inches from the bottom of the fin. I keep Gorilla tap with me when I go out will give that a go if i see any type of tear opening up. The bicycle tire thing sounded pretty good too. |
