: This is a clarification of my original posting, Wed., Apr 24th.
: The modification I designed can solely be used to reposition the foot braces
: while enroute, without reaching down under the deck. I have two
: modification methods - one which is only a cable release of the brace
: latch, the other is an additional enhancement that holds the latch in the
: release position for whatever reason. I assume the former (latch release
: only), would be the one most popular with most kayakers.

i guess i should be one to be clear. i think the idea is fine. (just had other thoughts.)

i've also wondered why they don't make the rounded slots (for the stop on the peg), more angular toward the bow so that the rest just self ratchets toward you by just hooking a toe around the peg rather than trying to hit the little lever. prob too expensive to machine.
