: That makes sense. I'm curious, though - is anyone putting their aft
: bulkhead more than an inch or so aft of the rear coaming? Any
: 'recommended practices' for placement? I've read some place it
: right at the rear coaming, both for deck support, and to
: minimize cockpit flooding.
I put mine in on an angle the top being abount an inch or so aft of the coaming (lets you grab the underside of the deck if doing a paddle float rescue) and the bottom angled forward. This minimizes the amount of water the cockpit will hold and also maake removal of any water in the cockpit easier (the water hits the angled bulkhead with the kayak inverted and flows out easier than with a vertical bulkhead).
