Jack, 

    Is there enough room next to the coaming to glue in some 3" minicell?  
When I first got my Explorer I wanted knee hooks and found I could carve some 
very aggressive ones out of a small piece of 3" foam.  I found the 3" foam 
worked very well as long as I really thought about how I wanted it to fit.  I 
placed mine just behind the head of the femur.  It really made a big 
difference.
