Hey Stinky. here's something I came up with after talking to a few other yakkers. I'm not sure about the Redfish, but some yak mfg's make scupper plugs to keep things a bit drier in the cockpit. The Mantra Ray's have smallish scupper holes compared to others and I couldn't find any to fit.
So, for a couple of bucks at Home Depot, I made my own. Use some of those chair tips you used for your pole, drill a hole, knot some parachord and fill with silicone. Done.

Nice going Stink, and great Idea CB!
I used those soft golf balls for scuppers sort of set up like your CB, work alright for me...

Very nice Stink, you will enjoy it. Did some yakking years ago but the paddling got to my neck too much. I still hunt fish with my Mohawk canoe and enjoy that, I like being able to move around a little bit and stand up when needed or to stretch my legs. It is more like hunting fish when you are down on the water sneaking and peeping for the critters.
Anyhow good luck and enjoy.
