I use my foot on the back of the peg to release the catch while at the same time pushing forward on the peg with the end of the pump. If the peg is so far back towards me that I can not use my foot to release the catch it means that I can reach down and move it one or two clicks forward with my hand and then move it the rest of the needed distance using the hand pump/foot method. My newer kayak has a larger cockpit and so far I have been able to make the necessary re-adjustemnts by hand rather than with the pump. I would much prefer someway to better "lock" the pegs in position. Mark J.
