Hello Everyone: I need a diagram for the foam placement on a PA 14 2014. Mice got into my PA and I had to blow the inside of the hull out with water. Nasty mice. 1 got stuck on a drain hole.
Thanks
Hans

Here is a diagram of a 12ft. ProAngler if it helps, it should be similar to a 14ft.

I added 10 swimming noodles to my 2015 PA 14 for extra buoyancy. I capsized once and my kayak shipped so much water it wasn't operable once I got back on top.

Carrying a hand operated bilge pump is cheap insurance :mrgreen:

Yes, I now carry a hand operated bilge pump, a plastic bailer (plastic pitcher), 10 swimming noodles for added floatation, and, most importantly, know how to get my PA 14 back upright in deep water and how to get back in. When I capsized, it took me 45 minutes to get the kayak upright as I couldn't find any water shallow enough to get my feet on the bottom and I didn't know any other technique. Live and learn - any luck at all.

Do you stuff the noodles inside or lash to top?
