ayaks 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.

It seem that recently SOT kayak manufacturers started adding drain plugs to their designs. When we reached out to several of the major kayak brands we discovered the reason why.

The easiest way to clear it up is to ask yourself if you have a sit-in kayak or a sit-on-top kayak. If you have a sit-in kayak, you probably have a drain plug and if you have a sit-on-top kayak, you probably have scupper plugs.

Each year Kayak Scupper Plugs searches high and low for the latest kayak models and manufacturers to ensure we continue to offer the most extensive collection of custom scupper plug kits available anywhere.

This is probably the most highly contested debate online and something we hear from our customers all the time. It usually goes “I do not know why there are even holes anyway!”, “Why do they put holes if you just have to plug them?” and “Do I leave the plugs in all the time?”
