The keepers foot braces are a pretty decent product , but for my use , they had one problem. I bought them to replace the footbraces on an older WS Tarpon 120 . While they look similar to the original WS ones , and use exactly the same bolt pattern , they won't work for this unless you modify the pegs . The Keepers pegs have these "fins" (I don't know what else to call them) that stick out on either side , next to the part that slides along the rails . They don't serve to strengthen the pegs , or any other function that I can determine . Anyway , with the rails installed in the original WS position , these "fins" hit the hull , at the bottom of the recess that the rail fits in , and the rail won't sit low enough to match up the bolt holes . The answer is to grind or cut off the fin . It can be done with a Dremel tool or a very fine handsaw . Once this is done , the rail fits perfectly in the original WS position , and Bob's-yer-Uncle :~) Make sure you cut off the needed fins , so the pegs are a mirror image of each other - Only the lower fin on each peg needs cutting . Put a peg on a rail and place it in position on the boat , and it becomes obvious . Good luck .

Installed these on my 16 ft. kayak as replacements for a set that was 25 years old and tested on a 8 mile course. This is an excellent product/very satisfied.

product is very good. only problem, no instructions were included. I had to guess where to install the foot braces, how high or low and how far forward. I had to guess.

I added these to my Old Town Pack canoe and it makes the boat fill Super Stable! This is a must on small canoes and should come standard on all solo canoes!

I bought the footbrace to install on a 96 Dimension kayak same as an Otter. I choose this kit due to the lenght. With a shorter kayak, I wanted a foot brace that would conform to the hull and this kit fit perfectly. Installation was easy and the instructions were extremely helpful. Its tough drilling holes in your kayak as you are worried about making a mistake. The kit makes it easy. And another benefit is it comes with all required hardware.

Basic, easy to install. A bit flimsy, but good value for cost and good choice for occasional use kayaking.

The Keepers Foot Brace Kit was a perfect replacement to the pegs that were originally installed in my boat.

Would have been perfect except the holes didn't quite line up with the ones on my boat. I suspect my boat is at fault. I had to drill to get a good fit.
