Hi Kayakers, I am Fran El Mejor and today I will share with you an easy, economical and very practical briconsejo.


Well, one day I was doing a little trolling on my GALAXY KAYAK SUPERNOVA and suddenly I heard a craassshhhhh, followed by a second craassshhhhh…. !!!, the next thing that happened is that I almost lay on my back! Well, friends, the causes of this awkward situation are two small pieces of plastic called: "PASSING TAPES". Nothing lasts forever, right? .
 

The easiest thing would be to put new ones, but “you already know me”, I started to go around the coconut and thought: to see something resistant, light, economical and that does not rust and do not ask me why, but I came to the head try this:
   
Yes, yes ...!, Indeed, a plastic chain that joins in garages, housing developments, etc. Now I had to see how to attach it to my Supernova and how to regulate backrest inclination. For this I went to visit NAUTICA RAMIREZ ESTEPONA where my friend Manolo advised me to use these stainless buttons for awnings that fit tightly in the link of this chain, but once he enters he lets him move free inside it!
As you can see, it is about 1 cm wide, so the screw that the short armchair brings, so use others that are a bit longer and stainless! Look how it looks!
 

To be able to adjust the inclination of the seat I have placed on each side interspersed in the chain a quick steel carabiner with which we can easily pick up or drop to shorten or lengthen the chain.

The truth is that it gives a very clean finish and nothing bungling !, What do you think?
