As for cloth tape, it's hockey stick tape. Works great for lots of stuff that will be around water.

lol! How could I not remember that name! I played hockey in high school.
The older I get the more comfort matters to my aging bod. Glad you found a way to keep your seat from sinking.

lol! And there is no way to unbend it. At least I did not totally screw it up!
That's a good one. Used to do that with both my sons' straps on their shoulder pads in football lol.
You missed a great opportunity to say “a great hack for a better back “lol great video
I had no cloth tape laying around the house so I used some of the wife's bobby hair pins. Worked like a charm and keeps the straps tight.

Great idea! Thanks
You have some great content. I just used my stimulus check to pick up a Cuda HD. Do you, or any one you can think of, have a video on installing a rudder system on that boat? As I understand it, they no longer make that model. Mine is brand new and was hanging on the wall of a local mountain sports shop. Got a massive discount and am happy to have it.

Sorry, not that I know of. But, since I do not have that type of kayak, I would not have looked.
Great idea, if you find the adhesive isn’t last, try putting safety pins through both layers parallel to the buckle bars. Or a quick bar stitch...

I have done the same thing for years but used duct tape cut to the same size. I like the cloth tape idea better so then it color matches better. Sporting goods stores sell different colored cloth tape

Did the duct tape stay attached? I wondered if moisture and heat would make it come off
Cool
Yeeesss 👏 👏 👏
I have an eagle talon kayak and there is just no information out there on which seat works best to keep your behind dry and has back support. Any help is appreciated.

I've been using velcro cable ties... But I might switch. Question : Do you think the tape will leave a residue on the straps after time?

I bet there will be residue at some point.

@@KayakhacksFishing yeah, I think I'll stick to my velcro straps. I use the ones with a hole at one end that you get for computer cables. Thanks! Manny Z

@@KayakhacksFishing I would guess the entire track would need to be raised on blocks, I feel I'm sitting to low while peddling.
The stock seat on my AirVolution killed my back. Here is how I fixed it: rick.sparber.org/AirVolutionSeatFix.pdf
