I tried on my flippers and there seems to be an insert of some kind. I can fully pull it. Do I use the insert or was it for shipping purpose?

I think that is just for shipping to keep the shape. If you look very closely on the tab it tells you to remove, it is very hard to see.

Oh yeah, you have to pull that out. Flippers feel much better once you get rid of the insert.

Thanks anyway. I found the item at West Marine and was not inclined to use. (Not heavy enough for me) I'm going to fiberglass and reuse the bronze/brass fitting that came with boat which is in perfect condition.

There is a snap ring (i.e. a locking ring) above the bearing that holds it down adjacent to the business end of the bit. I took a picture if you want a copy I can email it to you if you can figure out how to get me your email address.

Mine shipped with O-rings installed and a spare set. Yes, you need them in place before diving. When you twist off the head they go under the head around the open end. If you don't see the grooves they are probably already in place.

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

It a Screw type fitting. I pull out the fish finderr and lift into the craft.

I put it away, but I think there's a little clip Daiwa puts on its reels to hold the line. If the line is jumping off the reel, perhaps you wound it backwards. There are instructive youtubes, in case this may be a possibility. It's easier to understand if you see it than if you listen or read it. Also, I put spiderwire on mine, which tends to be limp, narrow, and tough.

Underneath the shuffler there is a crank that easily is picked out. It inserts into the side where there is a hole, but would not stay in place. It was possible to hold it in and then turn the crank to do the shuffling but it was difficult. However my box contained two additional cranks which snapped into place and work well. If you don't have the extra cranks, return it and get a new box which probably will have the extras and use only them as they snap into the hole and it is easy to use.

I have recently moved. and it's still packed. but if I remember right the little band turns and it loosens and you put them in and then tighten them. if you can't get it. I will keep checking back and as soon as I unpack it , I will check here. or ask the seller maybe ? Sorry I don't think I"m much help

I am not home right now, but I can check later. I don't know if there is a way to attach a picture, but I have one of how the rod sits in the holder. Mine sits with about 4 inches sticking out before the base of the my open reel. I do not have a pistol grip on my rod so I am not sure how it will sit. Even though my reel sticks out quite a bit sometimes it sits kind of awkward if I am not careful about how I set it in, this could just be because of the angle I set it in in my kayak...sometimes the rod spins and the reel hits the side of my kayak. Over all I am happy with the holder and may even buy another one to hold a second rod. I am not home right now, but I can check later.

I see no reason for it unless your paddles get hung up too much. The scrapper strip should maintain the required clearance necessary for the paddles under normal conditions. If the scrapper strip is worn away, you probably should replace it.

There is a tag on the inside edge marked Front. Just pass the edge through hand to hand until you find it. To make this unnessecery in the future, I remove the cover from the rear, folding to the front until it is laying across the front.then stuff the roll from one side into the mesh bag. Then I reverse process to install. Works quick and smooth. Faster if you have two people, one on each side of the boat.Good luck. Bill

Never had that issue with mine. I know it came with packaging to prevent it from slipping during shipping - might have slipped into the mechanism. Wish I could help more...

Not at all. I have no idea why they have it pictured like it floats. The tip just rests in the hole in the holder. I was disappointed, LOL.

I sold the Kayak before I mounted the holder. I would have used a bit the same size as the outside Dia, making sure I drilled at the same angle as the mounting flange.

Truthfully the stud is only used to help lock the blade into the handles and that's about it. Pretty much this is a true flipper. I have tried the thumb stud and I have not found anyway to use it.

This holder has longer round prongs that the roll snaps onto. It holds many more sizes than the original "flipper" style. I hope this helps.. I am very pleased with this holder. My mother had bought one many, many. years ago.. The "flipper" kind.. Not good for the shorter rolls.
