Leaky Yak

My okt13 seems to have a leak... I think at the pole holders. Is there a right way to fix this?

Probably just removing the screws that hold them in place and putting down a thick layer of marine goop should do. How much water is leaking and why do you think it's coming from there? Are those holders above the water line?

The holders flex when a pole is in it... Kinda waffles back and forth.  Just had a bunch of water today in the yak. It could have come in thru the back edge of the rod pod, but the pole holders seem pretty suspicious.

Goop it all

May seem like a silly idea , But to find a leak, Add water to the inside of your yak and tilt it to see if the holders are the problem, and some holders have caps on the bottom and are not sealed and they also tend to leak. good luck

How much water gets in it?

I used to have an OK Trident 13, and leaked through all the pad-eyes where the webbing etc go. As has been mentioned, fill it with water and find all the leaks that way, remove the offending parts add some goop and fix back in place. Unless its leaking very bad it's not something to really worry about.

A little water ... no big deal. A lot of water .... serious problem.

Goop is your friend and if your pole holders are flexing you probably need a backing plate and some new hardware.
