These have small hooks on their ends which I bent to close into a loop. I secured one end to a bolt forward of the front end of the slider. The other end was similarly bolted to the slider. To reach into the yak I suspended it on loops of webbing, cockpit side down, and adjusted the height to make it tolerable/easy to get my upper torso inside the cockpit. It was a tight fit, even so. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Sep 09 1999 - 07:38:31 PDT
