There's a hole in my pop-top!

[vizwhiz]

Well, it's a little one...
And it's supposed to be there...

Has anyone come up with a plug to use for the little hole that you screw the pop-top hold-up screw through for when you're not using the pop-top?
I noticed that rain, bugs, etc. can get in there...

I found my little finger works .

Actually I've never noticed anything coming in there to this point while using the boat. If water does come in the hole doesn't it just run off in the channel? Maybe a small piece of duct tape. Easy and cheap to replace and we always have some on board.

I sent you a PM on another matter let me know if you didn't get it,

I have a cover that snaps to the deck. It covers the whole pop-top seam and gives me perimeter snaps for other things like an insect screen and so forth.

My hardware store carries tapered black rubber stoppers in 1/8" diameter increments. They also make clear silicone ones. Don't buy 1, buy 10, because the first 7 are going to pop off into the lake as soon as you put your pop top up.

Bloop...

If you are really uber-nerdy and have a surplus of mechanical prowess, you could patch that hole and engage a couple of hydraulic cylinders to hold it open. Would also assist with raising it. Someone like my brother would do that.

Sumner, probably does normally, yes...we had some hard wind-blown rain here recently, and I noticed that a little water had blown in, not bad, just opened my eyes to it. May not be an issue, so I'll keep the duct tape handy.

Actually, there is at least one person on here who did that with a Venture 22 pop-top, and I'm definitely thinking about it on this one, as little Admiral person has a tough time pushing it up to open. (Makes me look like a hero each time, however)
