Pad eyes
 

Anybody know where to pick up pad eyes other than online? I'm in the thousand Oaks - Malibu area.

See the tab at the top that says Online Store? You can order them right there and have them mailed to you. If you're not too far from an OEX, stop by and pick some up. You can also find them on E-bay packed up ready to go and purchase. Also I believe from OEX.

In a pinch West Marine carries some stainless ones, no nylon ones. I have em in Sunset Beach

There's a West Marine in Ventura/Oxnard.
Or there's a mom and pops boat store in the valley,
forget the name?Its on Reseda just n of Victory?
On the east side of the street.I'm in Calabasas,thats where I had to go for
some of my bait tank parts!!!

Thank you all for your help. I'm new to the sport and trying to figure it out as fast as I can so I can get out on the water. I got the Stealth 12 and Spider chair from the OEX parking lot sale but couldnt figure out where to attach the front chair straps to. So I guess I have to place pad eyes or attach strap to side carry handle.

You should not need to add pad eyes.Look in the side pockets. If it is a new model it has the black inserts, but they dont screw in the front pad eyes they are usually in one of the hatches.

I'll post up a photo manana.

WE HAVE AN ONLINE STORE?! HELL YES!

I use that to be sure they have the items I need and then I go to the Mission Bay store to buy them, if I don't have time to run down there I order online. I have tried to buy gear from Lowes and Home Depot and West Marine, but OEX is the best place to find Kayak gear.

I see where the 2 seat straps attached (red arrows?) but the dont see where the 2 back straps attach.http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...o/DSC00326.jpg

Looks like production missed this, you will need a pair of the riveted padeyes on this model for the front attachments. I can send you out a couple if you can't get them near by.

Taylor Tackel on Sherman Way between Topanga Canyon & De Soto has them. He deals some Kayak stuff and Hobie products.

Tight lines...........

Thanks Iceman for the offer. I think I'll head to the shop Mr.PukaShell suggested tomorrow.I thought I was going crazy and missing something obvious there for a while. Thank you MrPukaShell for the info. I'll check them out.

take a peak
 

and let us know if he has the new PA 12 pls. :)

I know Andy @ OEX Sunset Beach has them. Oh yeah, I forgot- OEX also provides this site... :doh:

must have been one of the reasons it was sold as a blem.

Thanks MrPukaShell again for the Yak shop. Got what I needed, and its a nice lil shop to troll around in. And TJones they did have a PA12 on the floor deck out.http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...-19-45_681.jpg
