(snip) Or sometimes I just put one of those black fabric water bags on the bottom of the cockpit right in front of the seat, and that is enough.Water is easily added, amounts fine tuned, easily disposed of and replenished - and I don't have to carry lead shot up the beach when I unload the boat :-)" I thought I had a great and original idea to fasten a Camelback to the hull ahead of my seat and run the drinking tube up though the sprayskirt. Ballast yes, but more to keep the water cool and keep the CG low. Couple of days later I saw it on some cockpit customizing site, (Kayak fit?) So much for originality but I'm glad to see it does work.
