The replacement handles arrived quickly. It was easy to replace the frayed front handle on our Tarpon 120 kayak, It appears to be the same quality as the original handle and fits perfectly.

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.

Perfect replacement for my Heritage Redfish. Easy installation, good product You need to make sure that you order the right handles - these have one big hole at each end, others have two rivet holes on each end.

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

One of the handles on one of our club's Mad River canoes was damage beyond use. Mad River Canoes recommended ACK as a source of replacement parts. We found the handles to be exact replacements and were very pleased with the product and the ACK service.

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)
