I've thought it about it that way, but the plug works like the cap on
an empty plastic bottle: Take it out and you can crush it.
So my new kayak was bent when I forgot to put the plug and we sat on
the wrong place. Luckily the dealer gave us the right advice, which is
to plug it back on and let the heat expand it. Great!
Another secondary question is, if the kayak stays in the sun should I
leave the plug on or will it "cook" it? The second time it bent is
when I was trans****ting it, and I cinched it without the plug and it
bent again. Same solution as above.
I hear they get bent our of shape when trans****ted on racks with tight
straps...
Thanks!
