The content has changed

Instead of rivets and bolts with nuts, 14 stainless screws! One of the reasons I bought this was screws and rivets, I checked the Yak Gear website and now they come with screws. Come for Revain update info when mfg make changes.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Appearance

great quality Use this kit to bungee and .

Super quality. Use this kit to add a bungee and refresh a 20 year old plastic kayak. Now it's great for transporting lunch and photo gear. This kit had everything I needed plus a few spares.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Hardware does not match the picture.

Hardware not shown. Does not come with rivets. The only parts in the package are stainless steel screws and rings, no bolts or nuts as shown. They expect to screw the screws into the case and cover the screw locations with rubber caps and use pliers to clamp the bungee.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Clarity

Adds style and functionality to your kayak

Adds style and functionality to your kayak. I couldn't figure out why it comes with nuts and bolts in the first place. A full set of rivets would have been much better. I had to find some rivets because I couldn't reach the front of the kayak from the inside to use the bolts/nuts.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Clever design

Good kit, terrible choice of screws.

I bought this deck set because of the plastic J hooks I needed. The kit uses a pointed self-tapping screw. This can be quite dangerous for equipment or skin. I had to grind the tips with a dremel to avoid snagging the mechanism or parts of the body. Another thing is that poor selection of included hardware is great kit.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some cons

Another use for this deck kit

After decades of kayaking I decided on this bungee deck kit from Yak-Gear and fitted it to the periphery of my H3's window to fit the bug nicely keep. Pocket. The kit consists of six grommets and two J-hooks as well as fasteners for a kayak deck. I replaced the hardware with 3/16" aluminum rivets with a 1/2 to 5/8 grip range. The kit also includes ten feet of 1/4" stretch cord that I measured, trimmed, and crimped with the BOB installed. The .BOB holds tight and doesn't interfere, but is easy…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Easy to install deck mount

Easy to install deck mount. This kit contains everything you need for 2-3 different configurations depending on the size of your kayak. I used a traditional X pattern with spares. There are two installation options - a standard bolt and hex nut, which works if you can get to the inside of the kayak where the installation takes place, and a rivet system if you can't. Please note that you will need a riveting tool to use the rivets, which is not included in the scope of delivery. The bungee cord…

Pros
  • Ideal for me
Cons
  • No instructions
