Got my NWKA hawg trough - nice!  Here's an easy way to make it float.  1/2" caulking backer rod jambs into the 3/8" slots on the back - no glue required.

You are freaking awesome. I did this to both of my hawg troughs and tried one out today on the lake. I pushed the whole trough down 3 feet and it floated right back up.
Thanks for the tip!

I bet your idea will get out and we will see a "new and improved Floating model" released  .... I hope they at least send you a Thank You card.   

Big Ditto on it being an amazing idea !!
I used to think that Bigfoot might exist. Then I saw the reality shows where they are looking for them.  Now I am certain they don't

I went ahead and put some goop on mine, to keep them from coming out when I snag it on something.

I added this to mine yesterday.  First HD drone had no clue what I was after.  Not gluing it for now.  Might later when I break out the marine sealant for another project.
