Are the orange yakgrips for break apart paddles or solid shaft? I would rather have the ones for break apart that do not have the velcro.

Yes these were for the break apart paddles, without the velcro. The still do have a major seam in them, making for the need to find the best, most comforable position. They are nice though. Good luck and enjoy.

I bought the red ones, but they were for the break apart (no velcro) paddles.

It does break down into two pieces. One side of the paddle tube slides into the other side and there is a little lever-clasp that closes to secure the two pieces together. There is a little screw on the clasp to tighten the grip when the clasp closes. I tightened mine a little when I recieved my paddle. Overall, I am very happy with the paddle.

JS, Thank you for your interest in STIGA! The two sides of this paddle are identical other than the color. Hope this helps! STIGA

As long as the pellets are smaller than the gate opening. However, be forewarned that anything granular and abrasive (i.e. lime) beats the heck out of the paddle and will eventually break the shaft - its not very well made. Additional: I still use mine with the paddle snapped off. The weight of the lime doesn't make the paddle necessary. Its the lighter stuff that now poses a problem.

Yes, but it's not a very good paddle. Mine broke on the 5th usage. Wahoo gave me credit towards a one piece and let me keep the broken one which I fixed with 2 bolts.

Here is the solution: Sevylor Heavy Duty Aluminum Shafted Oars from Amazon...we have used these for the last year and they work awesome...length and strength...

I honestly don't know. They fit properly however and the snow thrower works as it should. This will be the second winter since I replaced the paddles & belt, we had a couple of decent snow storms last year and the snow thrower worked flawlessly, much better with fresh paddles & belt.

I broke 2 of them on the same day. One comment was to make sure that you don't over tighten them, so try that. The other problem that I have with them is that they are too short. There is a formula that I don't recall that gives you the proper length based on the distance from oarlock to oarlock. Using that, the oars should be 6'6" not 4'6" as provided. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a 6'6" oar with a small enough diameter to fit in these enclosed oarlocks. The issue isn't really I problem as I have the motor mount and use my trolling motor as the primary means of getting around. I use the oars as a backup and since I've purchased several Intex boats, I have backup spares if needed. I wouldn't let the oars deter you from getting the boat, maybe consider a backup plan though.

Your better off with a belt. I used these for Halibut last yr. and they worked OK but if you're trying to pull em up from the bottom a belt works better. They did fit my hvy action "Ugly Stik".

This paddle comes out of the factory with the rubbers glued with strong glue, while it is possible to replace them it would be difficult and not recommended. I would look elsewhere for a blade if you want to replace the rubber.

The shaft is aluminum. It's a little narrower than I would like but my husband is the one using it, not me. The padded grips make up for the narrow shaft as far as grip comfort. We will have to use it for a while & see if the smaller diameter is an issue regarding how well it holds up. The blades are a hard plastic & have worked fine so far. I was concerned that they might crack or snap, being so hard, if used to push off from a bank or something. Again, we haven't had it long & have only used it a few times, but so far there are no problems. Good paddle for a casual kayaker & plenty long.

My original paddles lasted a few years on rough pavement. I put these on and have not replaced them since. It is best to buy this kit as it is a good idea to replace the belt. It was very wore also.

While not a paddle per se, there is a sturdier whip-like attachment for use with batters. It works great. I really love this piece of equipment - it's small, lightweight, but works. No more lugging aroung the heavy Kitchen Aid!

No, that is additional purchase. There are paddles of different lengths that are purchased separately

If you are refering on how to get them out of the Kayak then mine had screws that they were held in place by. If you are refering to how to get the foot peg off then squeeze the bottom lever toward the top and it will slide off one end. Please let me know if this helps.

Nice paddle. If you plan on smashing mail boxes it might not be strong enough. May want to consider a baseball bat.

I agree with everything Ron said. But a simple fix for the uprights I put some rubber caps on to keep from cutting my kayaks while loading and unloading it only cost a few bucks and they work great. Good luck
