Drain you're kayak after fishing, especially if paddling freshwater and even if you think you're going out again the next day. Because if you don't end up going the next day...or the day after...or a few days later, you'll forget to drain it, and some sort of biohazard will eventually be found inside...

DAMHIK...

Off to go clean the inside of my kayak now...

If you leave your kayak in the sun it doubles as a slow cooker!    :puke:

Yup. On the roof rack, in the sun, for a few days :-/

Thanks for the cleaning tips, everyone!

It really tenderizes crab bait when you forget it in the front hatch for a bout a week in the sun.

An update... I remembered to drain my boat. Then forgot to put the drain plug back in. Couldn't figure out why the boat was sluggish at the end of the day until I tried to lift it...

DAMHIK - always check the drain plug...

I've never removed the drain plug.  Any water could be scooped out of the front hatch easy enough.

My drain plug is captured.  When it's out, it still stays attached to the boat.  Be hard to miss it being open.    I usually store the boat with the front hatch open so it can get air circulation and dry out

I've been fishing my Revo13 for about 3 years and have forgotten on occasion to open the hatches during storage and yet it has never created a bio-hazard inside.

What are you putting inside your yak?
