Another hole plugging option I have on my ocean boat that I would think would work for a kayak, toilet gasket ring.  Pliable, form to fit what u need and jam it in.  Told a buddy about it and then he tore a hole in his transom of his jet boat.  Toilet gasket to the rescue!

Good idea, but this might be even better - Duct Seal (aka Plumber's Putty, aka monkey shit).  It's really sticky.

I lost the plug in the rear of my Ultimate 12, but since its just a low profile canoe, I didn't need it anyway. It was just for ease of draining water out. The hole is on top of the tip of the stern. I cut a chunk of urethane foam to fit, and it works as well as the original plug. Several times I forgot the foam plug, and it didn't make any difference. I have been considering other uses for this hole.

Now on my Tarpon, that would be a different story.

 :D Best answer to a question I've heard all year!!!  :laugh:

Another good option is pool noodle or a chunk of closed cell foam.
