Great idea! Hobie does offer handles as an accessory, PN 71190001. I use several on my boats -- one can't have too many grips!

I lift my PA by the rear handle to get in onto the tailgate of my truck for transporting. It's heavy and awkward to use just the rear handle so I added and additional handle to assist me. Sure would be nice if Hobie added and additional handle or and indented rear grip. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35983350@N03/4784410227/ |

In the picture number two, did you place a metal plate for backing inside the yak? Looks like you might have voided the warrenty with that set up... Just a thought... |

Stress and pull when lifting might cause a crack in the hull... BUT this is just a guess on my part. Good luck. |

It's true, Hobie's warranty does not cover "damage by alterations or modifications", but it does cover "defects in material and workmanship". Fortunately one does not necessarily affect the other. It's a good point though -- a lot of users wonder if making a modification (installing a ram mount for instance) voids the warranty. It doesn't, as long as the ram mount doesn't cause a failure. Many Hobie accessories require modification to the hull, such as Sidekicks. Often, modifications are installed by the Hobie dealers -- doesn't matter. As for the grips, I've been using them for a couple of years now and find them to be very useful and problem free.
