What's next? Gen2 Self-Draining Kayak Scupper Plugs Now Available!
When we launched the first generation of self-draining kayak scupper plugs we thought they were pretty innovative and the feedback from our customers seemed to confirm it. The benefits were many and it did not take long for the word to get out. Finally a custom fit kayak scupper plug that not only blocked water from below but also drained away nuisance water from above. All of this with a simple and reliable design that continues our goal of taking the hassle out of shopping for kayak scupper plugs.
Kayaks today are nothing like kayaks of yesterday so why is it that so many people settle for the old One-Size-Fits-All approach to plugging scupper holes? After all we have 17 different sizes of standard plugs that prove that to no longer be the case.
No more splashed water pooling up.
No more leaking loose plugs.
No more plugs that stand way above the kayak deck to trip over and knock out.
No more golf-balls or plastic PVC caps shoved in with your fingers crossed that they do not fail somewhere out on the water.
So what is next for kayak scupper plugs? Plenty. You take a winning design along with some pretty amazing customer reviews and look for ways to make things even better. You keep what is working and improve anywhere and everywhere you can. Our second generation or G2 Self-Draining Plugs feature some improvements that we feel make them the best kayak scupper plugs on the market.
We have increased the drain hole size by 75%. That equates to water draining much more quickly and efficiently.
We added two drain channels to the top face of each plug. By design our plugs are slightly oversized for a tight seal which means they will stick up slightly above the surface of the kayak deck. These drain channels bring the drain height back down to help eliminate more standing water without sacrificing the tight seal you require.
The G2 drain valve is completely redesigned with less parts and chance of complications. Simpler is and will always be better whenever possible.
Today Kayak Scupper Plugs offers over 1400 different custom fit scupper plug kits in three designs; original pull-loop, self-draining and the new G2 self-draining scupper plugs for all of the most popular kayak manufactures on the market. If we do not have it, we can probably add it. In fact we will give you 50% off any new kit you submit. Just stop by our kit verification page for more details. If you have been let down by other plug suppliers and want to be certain your plugs will fit, we even offer a 25% discount just for verifying our kit information. The right products, the right designs and continuous innovation are what have made Kayak Scupper Plugs the best in the business.
