Wilderness Systems Kayak Replacement Handles - Pair

Both were as advertised and work great.

Replaced on both of my kayak's after 10+ years of Florida sun finely go to them, lasted a long time, great replacement handles

received in a timely manner, well packaged, easy to install.

Just like the ones I had originally on my Native Manta ray

Easy to install, good as new.

The perfect replacement

These were the perfect replacement handles for the ones that fell apart after many years of use. The only issue I had was in the description the size of the handle was not listed but I enter a chat session and that person was very helpful and got me the information I needed. Bottom line was the rubber handles are 4 inches long but the handles work with the screws on the kayak being 6 inches apart

As shown, easy to install.

arrived timely, as pictured

I was dismayed when my kayak handle broke. I have a Pongo Wilderness 1000. I store it on a kayak rack @ the local park lake and have to drag my kayak by the handle a distance to the lake every time I go out on it. I've been doing this seasonally for the last few years, so it's no wonder it broke. I googled kayak handles for said kayak, and got this website. I only needed one, but got two for the money, and was surprised to see they are exactly like the original ones that came with the boat, so I'm pleased. I haven't installed it yet, because I can't get the screw holding the old one to budge, but I can't imagine it will be any different. The price was very reasonable too, so I'm quite happy with my purchase, which was delivered a few days after ordering.

The scupper plugs fit well in our elderly Scrambler, though the sizing chart was a little difficult to decipher. I will order additional ones for our other boats, now that I'm sure of the fit. The handles were fine. We have installed them before and they are just starting to break down after 11 years. Shipping was not as prompt as in the past.

Great product ! Perfect replacement handle for my Wilderness Pungo kayak. Good value for the money. Thank you.

Upon first glance the replacement handles look great. Hopefully once installed they will last for years to come.

They were exactly what I needed. Unfortunately there were no instructions on how to remove the old screws (one broke off and another wouldn't budge). I did look on the internet before starting the project for ideas., but couldn't locate anything. I know you are just selling a product, but your expertise would have really been helpful.

Many replacements on other sites have plastic over the straps where they screw into the kayak. The plastic did not fit my kayak. These fit perfectly.

Perfect fit as a replacement for the handles on my Sun kayak!

fit great like original equipment

Easy to install. Ready to get back on the water

Handles were exact original replacement. No problems with product but the Fed-x shipping was stupid. Fed-x tracking shows starting point Phlugerville, 50 miles from me. From there to Austin, Cypress, Houston, back to Cypress, then to San Marcus and finally to me. If the handles were in Phlugerville I could have pick them up and back home in an hour and a half. Never again will I order online from ACK. I prefer pick up at the store.

It was to replace handles on a WS Pungo. It was a direct replacement. However, the application was not clear on the website because it posted it was for a Tarpon. I took a chance. It was a generic part so it fit.

Great product just what I needed and wanted

Handles to be replaced by new. The handles fit and kayak looks new

These handles are a perfect fit for my Wilderness Systems Pamlico 135t tandem kayak. One of the original handles simply wore out from use. ACK is an awesome resource for all things kayak.

All 3 products are great.

shipped promptly, replaced the handle without problems (hardware not included), and is functioning well

While the handle rubber grip is effective, the woven material covering the inside bonded stiffener tube is eventually cut by that tube so often I have begun using a home version made of webbing and no tube inside with washers. This product has a distressingly short life before showing destructive wear. It seems weather is a factor as well. I have had to keep a supply of handles. I have owned multiple WS Tarpons over the years, in the family fleet. Frankly, this is a product crying for either retirement or improvement to the point I don't have to change the handles as often as I have to change the tires on my truck.

Kayak Handles & Bungee Cord

These handles fit great and were easy to install on my mad river adventure 14.

Great replacement for the original equipment.

Exact replacements which is what I was looking for. Great pricing

Great price on the exact handles I needed for my Tarpon 'Yak. 2 handles had broken due to being 12+ years old. Shipped to me right away and showed up on time and a perfect fit for my 'Yak. Couldn't be happier with this transaction.

Great price on a set of replacement handles. Install was easy. Not much else to say!

Tarpon Kayak Replacement Handles were easy to find and quick to come!

Thanks so much for helping to replace my kayak handle! Perfect fit!

I needed to replace one handle on my Wilderness kayak. This product worked out perfectly, was easy to install and works like new.

On time and in good shape

The handles worked fine. Not too hard to install. Very happy to find them.

Awesome product. Fit perfectly

Easy to install and fits as it should .

Handles look exactly like the old ones. I am 71 year old woman and had no trouble installing.

Quality product at a fraction of the cost on other sites. Exactly what I ordered, and arrived quickly.

The handles were exactly as anticipated, high quality and well matched to the ones being replaced. Order was received very timely as promised.

These replacement straps were for my Tarpon 140. They fit like a glove and were super easy to replace. Simply remove the two stainless steel screws, making sure you hold on to the black plastic washers, as they might get away from you. Then screw down the new handles, simple!!! My Tarpon 140 had brass fittings for those stainless steel screws, --the only tool needed was a screwdriver.

Product was as described on the Web. Service was fast and professional. I would buy from this company again. They were the only company to have the item we wanted, so were thrilled to find that they actually carried it.

these went on my wife's Manta Ray, in nothing flat. Great replacements.

My husband installed (replaced) the handles on my Wilderness Tarpon 120 and had no problems. Good quality. Happy to have them!

Product arrived promptly and installed easily

The product was a duplicate of the original. It was a good price and arrived quickly

Fortunately, I had the screws and washers from the failed handles still available. The new ones are a perfect fit. They look and function like they came from the manufacturer. Pay attention when you remove the old ones, or find a picture of the proper installation. They do require that you put a "fold" near the attachment point on both ends.

old ones were getting ragged nice to have new ones

These handles are a perfect replacement for my old original Tarpon kayak. Bolt right on factory pads. These fit both the side handles and the ends.

Just like the originals which lasted 7 years with constant use

I am very pleased that ACK had exact duplicate replacement handles for my kayak. The price was reasonable and shipment was prompt.

Junk, didn't even last a year. The fabric just fell apart.

Great easy repair for our wilderness pamlico kayaks. The new handles were reinstalled in minutes.

Bought these to replace the handles on two 14' Wilderness kayaks. Happy with product - heavy duty, good quality.

The new tarpon handles work well. You dont need the hardware kit. Just reuse the original. Its in better shape than your handles! I've seen some bad reviews, but if you think about it, the handles are always going to get the toughest abuse. I havent seen any tougher material.

The handles are great. That ACK doesn't offer a kit that includes hardware, or prominently recommend the correct hardware as an add-on choice, is annoying. For this specific pair of handles the proper screws and washers are mentioned, buried in a question and answer. The nuts are not mentioned at all. ACK sells very similar handles that make no reference at all to which hardware is appropriate for installing it.

These handles are junk. the fabric tears at the transition from hard plastic to fabric. Happened on both my Tarpon kayaks. Unfortunately nothing else fits so I have to keep replacing them, tried Malibu's but no dice. Any advice?

We bought replacement handles. They were perfect and we received them promptly.

They worked as advertised .I`m ready for this season's adventures , thanks ACK

Perfect fit. ACK was great to deal with. Right product, good web site, fast delivery. Thanks!

great product - good price - speedy shipping

Original handles lasted for 5 years of heavy use. Replacement handles were a perfect match, hope they last another 5!

Great. Reused the old hardware on my Tarpon 100 and they wotked great. Bungee line thicker than the original but works better.

Perfect replacement handles, installed easily.

Replaced the handles on my Tarpon 120 perfectly. I simply re- used the hardware from the old ones.

Solid construction, fit well, looks good

Handles worked perfectly on my wife's Tarpon 120. Easy to install.

Timely and exactly what I ordered at a fair price.

I purchased these to replace a handle that ripped after 5 years of use. The replacement handle ripped in the same way after one use.

Quality handles to replace my dry rotted handles. Very pleased with handles and the price could not be beat.

good looking and functional...i use these for many applications

exact replacement for Pungo and LL Bean manatee kayaks.

They are exactly what you think they would be. There are no instructions, however I was able to figgure out how to remove the old broken handle and how to install the two new ones in a total of about 5 minutes (this included trying to find the big screwdriver that you need). My Kayak is an 8 year old Tarpon 140 and the handle is pretty much an exact match. One thing to be aware of is that the mounting hardware is not included, so if the screws are damaged or missing, that would be an additional purchase.

Excellent merchandise and timely and reliable service.

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.

They fit just fine- just like new.

Worked great. Took two people to install.

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.

Great service. Would continue to be a customer.

wonderful replacement handle that I had broken pulling on the old handle, thank you, it was my nephews kayak.

Just what I needed and Super fast shipment and delivery

Exactly the product I needed at a great price. Delivery was fast- all good with this company!

Original equipment I used to add to front rails to make loading/unloading easier.

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.

Handles worked out great, very strong..

Just like the handles on my Hobie kayak...

great fit

Perfect fit - Quick response to order and speedy delivery. Thanks!

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.

Easy ordering, great product & price!!!

Good Replacement for older Ride kayak. Quick delivery and fair price.

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.

Delivered on time to an overseas location--worked like the originals. Mahalo!

Received on time, installed easily. They seem identical to the one I broke off the kayak, so I expect good quality.

The end handles on my 2005 Tarpon dry-rotted. These replacements are identical to the originals and installed easily in a minute or so with just a screwdriver.

Extremely pleased with the handles. Exact replacement for the Tarpon I bought in 2001, and which would not have needed a handle had it not endured Hurricane Ivan.

Perfect fit, great quality replacement for my Tarpon14 carry handles. Austin Kayak's the best!

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

Service from your company is outstanding. This the third time I have had to replace handles for my wilderness140 Kayak. The handles hold up fine but the strapping is not durable after a few monthsit fall apart..... Design improvement may be in order. thanks

Ordered the product after calling to be absolutely sure the part is what was needed to repair my boat. The part was shipped and received ahead of time. THank you...

Very reasonably priced compared to factory after market prices. Easy to install and makes lifting/hauling the kayak much easier. Thanks ack!!!

replacement part fit perfectly on my kayak. quick service after ordering.

Just like the originals. Great service and fast shipping!

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.

Simply the best prices and great shipping. Handles fit perfectly!

Just what I ordered.

Super Fast Shipping Time-Great Customer Service. Thanks for a wonderful shopping experience.

OEM quality, easy install.

great price. direct replacement part, highly recommended.

Excellent customer service. Great price and fast free shipping.

Works GREAT on my Sit-on-top Spitefire kayak. Makes moving it a lot easier,as I am 63 and Female.Very good product and next day delivery . Excellent.

Handles fit perfect, looked just like the ones needing replaced. Shipping was fast, just a few days from ordering to when they arrived. This was my first experience with ACK, but I have their web page bookmarked for future needs.

Great product - a little hard to install but otherwise looked like original.

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.

Good stuff! Works just fine and for a good price.

Used them to make two sets of grab handles in my Jeep Wrangler. They work perfectly!

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)

Same quality as failed handle at a GREAT price! Austin Kayak handled the customer service and shipping quickly and effectively. Would buy from them again!

Great price, good quick service, quality product. No complaints, and from me, that's saying something...

Fast, excellent service and products.

Very pleased it's punctual shipment and delivery and product was superb.

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

Exactly what I needed and they were delivered quicker than promised and price was right.

Fit perfectly on my Tarpon 120, but be warned the screws can be tough to get loose.. Thanks for the great service.

Excellent product and quality fast service... what else do you need?

Look just like the originals. Got an extra set so I am ready if another tears. My buddy sprays them with armorall and he has yet to break on. That is my plan.

Excellent, strong and easy to install.

Good fit and fast shipment. Should have bought before they broke but have spares now.

Your handles were reasonably priced, shipped promptly, and were easily installed. Thanks for your prompt service!

Austin Canoe and Kayak was very helpful in my search for replacement handles for my kayak. The handles were shipped immediately and they were easy to put on. Great Service!

A fine replacement handle. Has plastic reinforcement at screw holes - stronger , better than stock. Very fast shipping. Have fun.

Very easy to put on and worth the effort. A great price on these handles.

Easy to replace. Great item. Great price.
