Title: Small hooks for dodger line
Post by: Tom Patterson on August 17, 2024, 12:35:15 PM
Does anyone know of a source for the small plastic hook in the picture below? We use these to keep the lines on our dodger taught and the one on the starboard side broke. I've searched the internet to no avail. TIA

Tom,
Try "kayak lashing hook"  or may be local kayak shop.

Your boat your choice, perhaps a stainless steel padeye would be an alternative.

Tom : It's called a single Spinlock Bulls Eye.  It can be all "plastic", but most are lined with a stainless ring inside!!  I know that Defender has the double and triple Bulls eyes just don't know if they have the singles??   :thumb:

A thought

Ron I believe you are confusing the part he asked for. What he is looking for is the little black one-armed cleat/tie down, not part of traveller.  Kayak J hooks.

Ron- either you or I am confused. A Spinnlock bulls eye is a fairlead. I do not believe he is looking for a fairlead. I believe he is looking for a small cleat with one horn, (aka;Kayak J hook).

I looked up stainless steel kayak j hooks. They are available, and should last longer than non stainless hooks.
  Just a thought

Thanks all for the suggestions. The small plastic kayak hooks look like they'll do the trick.
