I've seen reviewers saying that the straps aren't long enough for the newer, molded canoe seats. How long are they exactly?

on my pelican 15.5 canoe the seats are molded and about 2 in. thick and about 7 in. wide and my cgi seat fits with about 3 in. of strap left. if they are too short, you can buy the same 2" nylon and the snap buckles also and make an extension.

Total circumference of the strap is 19 inches. 11 inches on the adjustable side, 6 inches on the female side (clip), and the clip is 2 inches. Hope his helps!

The seat base measures 9 inches and the straps are 12 inches on one side and 6 inches on the other. Hope this helps. Great support for person with a bad back.

Hi! Hope this will be helpful. With the clips joined together and leaving a little play for the thin seats that I have, I've measured 14 inches. My canoe seats are not the molded type. Have you thought about contacting GCI to see if they make an extension for your type of seat? If you can get some type of extension, they are the most comfortable seats that both I and friends have sat in. Good luck!

I've been at camp all weekend, will measure when I get home tonight to let you know

Measure the width between the roof gutters on your Subie! Should be a pretty close measurement give or take an inch or two. If your canoe is close to that measurement than the inch or two may be a big deal and I haven't helped you at all... Goodluck!

Ben,I can't seem to find the information on the seat size but there have never been any problems, that I know of, with the size of the seat. It should be a pretty standard size since these are intended for weightlifting.Let us know if we can do anything else for you.Thanks,MichaelMatters of the Cart

sorry I cannot give you an exact number in inches but what I do know is they stick out pretty far if you want them to or they can fit up snug to your boat as well.they could stick out somewhere close to 18 inches of clearance on either side they do extend out pretty far if needed. I have the same pair on my 17 foot Boston Whaler as well as my 28 foot Hydra sport center console. they work great, most launches are in a channel with high moving current these guides are sturdy and do the trick!

Karen. We had the same problem. The manufacturer didn't think that far. We bought some short stretch straps that have S hooks on both ends, hooked one end to a bar under the seat and the other to the barrier. That has worked fine for us.

I have carried four and buying extra straps worked well. Mine were 6ft sit on top style kayaks

I think the largest the straps will fit would be a double, if that. However you could replace the straps, just plain nylon strapping is used and the buckles/snaps are plastic. You could cut the original straps and thread new strapping through them.

I don't think those dimensions match the pieces in the kit I bought. Each of the 4 pieces is adjustable in length, but it's more like 16"-18"-ish than 54". Each is maybe a little less than 2" wide. Have no idea where the 4" comes from. Whatever the dimensions really are, the straps work like a charm -- no more sheet-creep or mattress pad-creep! Just sweet dreams!

Not sure but it halls my 18'mohawk fiberglass canoe just fine. A little shaky but rachet straps take care of that. I do recomend this product for that.

The adjustable straps made of a canvas webbing are a total of 26 inches end to end so if your headrests are 15 in. on one side you would need more than 30 inches. Measure all the way around your headrest. If it's more than 26 inches it will nor fit. If you are handy with a sewing machine you could sew extensions onto the straps.

Janice the straps are pretty long, but I would say it woud depend I guess on how large your waist is. My waist, is 41 inches and I have plenty of strap ends left. Hope this helps. Christina..

No we don't have problems with the length. Do you have the manual? The straps hook behind the seat into a metal locking clip. But, there are 2 different slots on the straps to hook them into the clip. One is supposed to be used when the baby is under 11 pounds. The other is for babies over 11 pounds. When you switch the locking clip at 11 pounds, the straps get longer. I would check to make sure your straps are in the right setting. But I would advise looking at the manual because placing the locking clip in he wrong place could be dangerous. I hope that helps!

In a manner of speaking. The seats have an adjustable back rest and do in fact Velcro to the where they are positioned in the canoe. There is a small, square inflatable spot under each seat that is attached to the canoe. For what it's worth... my wife sometimes has back issues and she's never had a problem with the seats on this canoe- she says they're quite comfortable.

Here are replacement bows, the description says they are 28 inches http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001RMUOKG/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=SY115&simLd;=1

Yes because remember you can change the length of the straps. 11.5 ft sounds just right. Hope this helps.

I had a problem with the straps and emailed Keekaroo directly (http://www.keekaroo.com/). The chair was new so they sent me straps free of charge right away. I would think if your chair isn't under warranty (which is 5 years) you could buy the straps from them.

Sorry to be so long in answering your question. The length of the straps I bought are 12 inches from clasp to clasp. Hope that helps
