Hello, new Tandem Island owner here. I've spent a lot of time reading through the forums about the Hobie cradles vs PVC bunks. Since trailers are hard to come by these days, I am stuck with cartopping for now, and I figure the PVC will be easier than the cradles for that application. (I already cartopped once on foam blocks and dented the hull, doh!)
After all that reading I am still confused regarding the "scuppers"...
Hobie reps keep saying PVC bunks can push the scuppers up through the boat, are they talking about those little black protusions for the venturi drains under the seats?
https://www.kayakfishing.blog/uploads/2 ... n_orig.jpg Can these just be removed and would that leave a hole in the hull to be patched?
Or are they talking about the two center holes for the cart that are reinforced with black plastic pipe, do these also need special care on the PVC?
Thanks for your help!
