ADD ENDLOOPS AND PAINTERS

How to install endloops and painters on a canoe

[@dirkdiggler4671]

Great video ! im definitely going do that to my canoe thanks!

[@michaelrundlett9790]

Thank you I was thinking that would be a good idea. Just didn't know if it would effect the integrity of the boat. Nice work!

Not sure what you plan on using the painter for but line that small is not all that strong and it would be both difficult to hold on to and very damaging to the hands if put under strain.

Perfect! Thank you.

Thanks! That was helpful

Very good video . I just hate the thought of drilling thru my canoe

[@UguysRnuts]

No reason to avoid doing so. If it's composite it can easily be reversed. Drilling is often the strongest and lightest method of attaching something.

Loop waaaayy too big

[@dougmckown5]

actually no. the loop should be as large as possible, and still not drag in the water. The larger it is, the easier it is for someone to grab when the canoe is upside down.

@@dougmckown5 Many people in the whitewater community would disagree. Their opinion is that the loop should not be big enough for your hand to go entirely through to avoid entrapment and being tied to a capsized boat full of water in current.

I added a glob of thickened epoxy inside the boat above the buoyancy tank and then drilled through it instead of using the plastic tube. Magnitudes stronger than this technique.
