I thought I saw it on your blog! :-) Posted by: kayak_bob on Feb-20-13 1:05 AM (EST)
Thanks again Gnarly Dog! I thought I saw this idea on your blog a while ago :-) From looking at your retrofits, it looks like you put the toggles pretty far at the ends of the kayak? It looks like one of the holes were drilled near/on the deck/hull seam. Have you noticed any odd issues because of this? If I were to follow a similar scheme - I would be putting the toggles at these locations?: http://bobchu.com/temp1/Bow-Toggle_Location_1.jpg http://bobchu.com/temp1/Stern-Toggle_Location_1.jpg I was thinking of looping the line through the toggle, binding the 2 lines together so I don't accidentally put a finger through them and having a bungee holding the handle taught on the deck. - it looks like you have one line connecting to the toggle - any issues with balance? Thanks again!, Bob
