Re: [Paddlewise] Adding D-rings to a folder

Ken - RE: attaching gear to deck - Are you absolutely sure you can't secure 
your stuff to the deck using temporary bungies hooked into the corners of 
your deck bungies?? Even those el cheapo bungies sold in K-Mart or auto 
supply stores do a good job of that, and you don't have to mess up your deck 
permanently.

If you insist on adding rings to the deck - NOC sells several types of 
glue-on D rings, in various sizes. So does GRO - and probably a half dozen 
other kayak outfitters. You can also get D rings from West Marine. Those 
aren't glue-ons, but you can easily grease 'em up and make some nice glass 
loops on your deck for them. an even better way of fixing non'glue-ons to a 
deck might be to drill the deck, secure a bolster underneath it, and bolt a 
shot loop of webbing to the deck (with the D ring within the loop). To me, 
that's less intrusive to your boat than glassing or gluing things onto the 
deck. - Bill Hansen
