The splash bag is made of plastic woven fibres that will repel water from it. The splash bag is not waterproof and for peace of mind we recommend you place all delicate equipment inside an dry bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hermetically sealed storage hatch measures 20cm in diameter and comes with a locking pin mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inner seal of the lid is made of rubber and surrounds the inner lip of the lid. The seal can erode over time by exposure to things like water, salt and sun and we recommend you look after it and replace it from time to time. Our experience tells us that in rare instances where people experience water seepage, misused or broken hatches are often the cause of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe storage hatch comes with an external foam tape that stops any unwanted water from filtering in through the outside of the hatch. It is fundamental to place this foam correctly and seal the ring properly when installing a new hatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hatch can be installed on most kayaks that are designed for one of these dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe installation process is reserved for professionals and we do not recommend you try this at home.
