Pelican PS1409-1 Sit-on-Top Kayak Scupper Plugs 4 Pack

The Pelican PS1409-1 Scupper Plugs address one of the most common complaints among sit-on-top kayak owners: water constantly seeping up through the scupper drain holes. While those holes are essential for draining water when waves crash over the deck, they also allow water to splash upward during calm paddling, leaving you sitting in a puddle. These plugs seal the holes when drainage isn't needed, keeping your seat and gear noticeably drier.

Each plug is made from compressible EVA foam, a material that flexes enough to fit a range of scupper hole diameters up to 1.25 inches. Installation is as simple as pressing the plug into the hole, and the attached cord makes removal quick — just pull and pop them free. The four-pack provides enough plugs for most sit-on-top kayaks, which typically have two to four scupper holes. Keep in mind that blocking the scuppers means any water that does enter the cockpit will stay there, so these are best used in calm, flat-water conditions rather than heavy surf where self-draining is important.
