Hi Bad

only see red Xes, but good for you making your own spring straps

Now that is a creative redneck solution to a real life problem :joke: Just kidding. That is a great idea. I never would have though of using a bungee cord as a spring strap but there is no reason why it should not work. What did you hook them to on the fin? I see a loop of some sort but what is it?


***** Edit *****

I now see what that loop is on the second picture. All kidding aside that is a great idea to conveniently (and cheaply) keep fins in use.

Hey, it works.

Very creative.

Much prettier than mine, but I saved a step by using bungee already attached to the hooks and just cut to length. Then I closed the hooks over the post with channel lock pliers.

He hooked it onto the original buckle that the rubber straps thread through

Hi Bad

Wouldn't the cable ties break???

If you are worried about the cable ties breaking or coming loose hes a few SS hog rings and clamp them on. Problem solved. http://www.rochfordsupply.com/product_listing.asp_Q_CatID_E_417_A_SubCatId_E_478 your local boating parts will have them as well.
