The holes are not big enough so it is difficult to fit the hardware through. Once expanded in diameter they seems to work OK.

Get price for replacement handles of equal quality to the originals. The Arizona dryness wears these out every so many years. Only thing missing this is the spring cord paddle holders, which I rarely used anyway. Besides the same AZ dryness wears down the spring in the cords anyway.

These are as advertised. They matched the end handles on the Tarpons. With the front handles, you will need a phillips screw driver and a wrench to hold the nut while untightening and tightening the screws. The back handle is easy to replace and only require the screwdriver. For side handles, you will want to order the pair with the bungee to hold your paddle in place.

ACK always provides great service and quick delivery. ACK is always my first stop when looking for kayak supplies. The handles are NOT the same side handles that came on my Tarpon as they do not include the bungy cord paddle holder.

Side handles with the bungee cord attached are also available, please search for item #1486 Tarpon Kayak Replacement Side Handles with Paddle Park

These handles worked perfectly as replacements for the front and rear handles. They could also work as side handles but on my kayaks the side handles have a built in bungee cord (that I don't think I have ever used) - If you didn't mind losing the bungee on the side, these would be excellent replacements for these as well. I ordered an extra set to keep in case of emergency, mouse damage or what have you... great product - nice price

Used them on my Old Town Predator K111 to replace the hand carry cords and handles on each end which always dragged in the water. Worked great!! Hard to install by yourself. Should work/fit well with any Kayak or Canoe as side or end carry handles.

A little longer than the original handles that came with the boat. Slightly difficult to install due to position on the boat. Don't really know if you can replace the handle on the stern. But once its on, works as well as the original one (which my cat unfortunately ate)
