Grab Handles
Submitted by Joe Lombardo on Fri, 09/03/2004 - 10:17. Fitting Out Recent discussion on the CLCBoats
.com forum reminded me that I still have to install grab handles on my kayaks. For the Mill Creek I'll use the traditional looking padeyes. For Michael's Chesapeake I'm undecided so I've started researching the options. Here's what I've found so far.
Forum wisdom seems to think that a loop of rope through the hull is not comfortable for long or heavy hauls and may cause injury if the boat spins or rolls in the surf. Read the discussion

Wooden foot braces
Submitted by Joe Lombardo on Mon, 08/23/2004 - 02:17. Fitting Out I haven't installed foot braces in either of our boats yet. I didn't want to put holes through the deck and hadn't gotten around to following Kurt Mauer's plans. Now I am kind of glad I didn't. I'm pretty settled on using Nick Schade's approach as described in his book "The Strip-Built Sea Kayak" and plan to buy the kit from shearwater-boats.com.

Securing Deck Bungees
Submitted by Joe Lombardo on Fri, 07/09/2004 - 22:10. Fitting Out | Good Threads A couple of really cool approaches to installing the deck bungees in a clean low-profile manner. Plus some funny dialog ;-) Here is a quick summary.
The most common way to install deck bungees is to run them through netting and padeyes and tie the ends together. While this works, it would be nice if you didn't have to see the big knot on the deck.
The first approach suggested is to use plastic zip ties to hold the bungee ends together. This results in a much lower profile and the connection can be hidden under the webbing loops.
The second approach suggested is to use super glue on the ends of the bungee and a heat shrink wrap like used on electrical wire. The black heat shrinks are UV safe. Again this would be hidden under the webbing loops.
