Ocean Kayak Replacements

Using these as replacement grips for sun bleached originals on my Ocean Kayak Venus. They fit perfectly. However, I did not use the supplied hardware. Since the originals were riveted, I bought 3/16" aluminum rivets to do the job (which also meant buying a rivet gun). The hardest part of the process was removing the old handles from the kayak. I used a set of nails, to push the old mandrel back through the hole in the boat but only one of the rivet heads had just come loose.I used a power multi tool with a metal blade to chop off the rivet heads and a pair of pliers to remove the remaining pieces of the rivet.My boat has three handles, I only bought two to see how they work before going all in. This is exactly what I need, so I ordered two more packs to replace the remaining pin.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
