NRS and other kayak equipment manufacturers make tow belts but
incorporate Aluminiun Climbing Beeners into the mix.
We that play on salt water soon realize Aluminium and The Sea are a bad
mix.
I have two tow systems purchased in the last 12 months, both with
seized beeners after being laeft wet in the car for a couple of weeks.
NRC is sending this to their R & D department.
My R & D went to a ships chandler and picked up a stainless beener for
about 3 quid. Brass is available as is a nylon water sliing clip. These
options do not rust, oxidize or seize like the lump of white stuff I
just took off my tow system.
Does anyone else have this issue: And why are kayaking companies tying
this rubish into an otherwise fine product?
