Robert Livingston <bearboat2_at_home.com wrote >>>>>>>Many Mariner Kayaks have cleats in front of the cockpit that can be used to park a paddle with the aid of the elastic bands that are used to secure maps or whatever in the area. It works and has the advantage of not being a one trick device ie you can use the cleats for a multitude of other purposes. You can probably see their setup on their website<<<<<<< Click on MANUALS, click on OWNERS, Scroll down about 1/2 way to PADDLE PARK, The picture shows one cleat, we now use two cleats but you can use either one or both if you want to hold the paddle level and out of the water altogether. The main advantage of this system is the instant release if you grab the paddle with both hands and pull it toward you.
