Best used as replacement handles for Riot brand kayaks including white water, recreational and touring kayaks and some Boreal brand kayaks. These can be used on most makes and models of kayak (if the deck fitting can be removed from the deck!). These are best secured to the original Deck Fittings or to standard pad eyes. If fitting is screwed to the deck remove fitting and apply handle. If fitting is riveted you must drill out the fitting, apply handle, and use a new rivet.
