Looking for an after-market version of the bungee-type straps used to hold the horizontal rods in place on a Grady 180 Sportsman...
Thanks

I think I would just grab some bulk bungee cord from the hardware store and make my own.

Hi,

I did some digging on this. The stock under gunnel rod holder straps use standard hardware that you can get from a kayak dealer. The top screw end and the bottom J hook end are offered and are basically compression fittings. I didn't find the rubber bungee material, but on my boat the J end broke. I simply worked the top compression fitting off and removed the J hook base. I ordered a few from this place and plan to re-use the existing rubber bungee material. You could replace the bungee with any standard 1/4" bungee material offered if desired.

Here are the links:

For the J hook end: http://www.kayak-solutions.com/bungee-c ... d_search=0
For the termination end: http://www.kayak-solutions.com/bungee-c ... d_search=0
