Thanks folks a couple of good suggestions to try there, I’d never considered acetone with transmission fluid.

Yep it’s a composite boat.

The angle grinder would be a last resort: cutting off the track either side of the bolt then nibbling away at the aluminium until all that’s left is the bolts.

Having trouble removing some footrests: aluminium track, stainless bolts, 18 years old sea kayak

Wd40 on the bolts both sides is doing nothing

Anything I can try before resorting to an angle grinder ?

Idun Although the thigh grips are not adjustable they are in the right place and are big enough to get good connectivity with your thighs, and the footrest system is quite good; you loosen a lever, use your foot to push your footpad to where you want it, then twist the lever down to lock it in place...

I'd say 100% because of travel restrictions. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest given 100% of sup users I see never wear a pdf, even a lot of kayak users don't. Which makes me wonder why surfers and windsurfers never wear them either?? Re surfers The wetsuit provides some bouyancy andbthe boar...

Causes can vary, but storage pressure points on the hull can be a common cause, as can Regularly overtigtened straps, particularly if it’s a hot day and kayak is on a car roof for a long time, leaving the hull keel side down on a flat garage floor will put pressure there, ..things like that Cure: I’...

I found this review of one which may be useful to anybody unfamiliar with the Scorpio Unlike the person that produced the video I’ve not found it necessary to use skeg to maintain a straight track. Just slightly lift the appropriate knee. I guess by “giving it a bit of English” they mean not paddlin...

Hi, what years model is this? Hi I don’t know precisely as I didn’t buy it from new. But I believe it’s a late mk1, just before p&h changed the seat, added the “skudder” system (which reduces useable volume in the back hatch) and added deck features for a sail. The mk2 has a skeg slider on the deck...

Hi there - interested - skeg or no skeg? Live NWales, regards, JonS

skeg: works fine. Its deployed by a slider on the left side of the cockpit.

I can post more pictures if needed

No it’s just the kayak that I’m selling.

Scorpio LV Minimal scratches, always washed inside and out, dried and stored indoors, so no uv degradation. Hatches are watertight, skeg works fine, elastics are taught and declines in good condition. No dings, dents or oil canning of the hull. This kayak has had an easy life and has been used for r...

Don’t think my feet will fit an LV I’d read max shoe size is 7

Interested, Pm sent
