Seat pad for Perception Eclipse 17?

Advice
#1

I have a 2 week kayak trip coming up in a couple of weeks. I’ll be spending an average of 10 hours a day in the yak. The gel pad on the seat of my kayak has largely worn out and I need to replace it before the trip so by butt doesn’t go numb.

What do ya’ll recommend as a good seat pad or gel pad replacement that will fit my model boat? Perception Eclipse 17 rotomold, 17’ long, 22.75" wide, cockpit opening 19"X24".

If you’ll be in fresh water;
try a “Yak Pad”. that is what my wife uses in her Shadow which is just a smaller version of the Eclipse



If salt, don’t the gel will melt out of it

I was having a problem also and had
a couple of foam pads from a local store that looks similar to a kitchen chair seat and has a “handle hold”. Mine is red and since putting it on my yak seat, I’ve a much more comfortable ride. I did put a large shoestring around the handle part and slip it over the back of my seat for a tether. Works for me.
