PORTABLE MOUNTING OPTIONS FOR SINK KAYAK AND CANOES
The SRA CB-1 and SRA LP-1 are best attached to permanantly mounted stainless steel eye-pads and stainless steel hardware.For occasions where the SRA devices are to be utilized on rented or borrowed kayaks and canoes, please utilize the recommended procedures below:
1. For the attachment of the SRA CB-1 bronze eye-snap to the kayak attachment cord: Utilizing an approx 3 foot long #4 solid braided nylon cord with a minimum 40 pound tensile strength rating, tie a double overhand loop knot at one end of the cord, thread other end of cord through and around the mounting bolts of two adjacent eye-pads (or recessed eye pads as typically found on newer kayaks). Feed loose end of the cord through the loop eye, pull tightly and secure with two overhand knots (see Photo #1). Attach the SRA CB-1 bronze eye-snap to any point along the nylon cord (see Photo #2).
2. For the attachment of the SRA CB-1 bronze eye-snap to the canoe yoke: Utilizing an approx 3 foot long 1/4" diameter nylon or polyester rope. Tie a clove hitch around the mid-section of the yoke, followed up with a square knot. Attach bronze eye-snap to the rope as shown in Photo #3.
