Hi Cory I saw you at the Timonium show Sat.You were busy with other customers so the other person you were with at the kayak booth showed me the Kayaks.Anyway, I have a Mainstream Twist and would like to install a handle like they have on the Mainstream Kingfish.

Where do you want to locate them, do you have a hatch that you can reach through to get to the back side? I prefer to use nuts bolts and fender washers for handles. I have a few extra side handles from scrapped boats.
If you have a spot you can't get a nut behind you could use a rivet.

About the same place they're located on the Mainstream Kingfish'amidship".I just have to find the balancing point.There's room through the storage hatch to reach the gunnels.I mounted the Scotty Rod Holder through it.

Call wilderness systems, they will ship one direct...i got some stock tarpon rudder slides 13 dollars and they were at my house in a week. Handle shouldn't be very much at all...and a tarpon handle would work on your mainstream nicely.
