| I've looked into new handles, but I'd rather just do it myself and never have to do it again.
Materials to complete one entire handle (all at local hardware store):
2" 6/32 Stainless Machine Bolt (x2)
6/32 Lock Nut (has to be a lock--don't compromise on the extra $.02) (x4)
1" Aluminum Sleeve (x2)
Good Luck!

Perhaps dab a little grease on the bolt threads before assembling ? |

Location: oswego, il | That is a pretty cool do it yourself project for those handles. I think I have ripped every one off my handles but I already reaplaced them all with gator grips. One nice thing about the gator grips is they are a bit longer and give some more leverage but if you need one fixed sooner than later or just want to fix the one you have, great tip! |

Well done. |

Location: Medford, WI | Corey...very impressive! You don't know how many of those "paddle-less" handles I have. Pretty sure I've kept most of them; and now I have a reason for still have them.
Get out this weekend?
Thanks for the easy/cheap tips.

| I can't tell you how easy this is...literally a couple minutes. SOLID, SOLID, SOLID....just don't tighten the second lock-nut too much and it's really slick.
I was down in Milwaukee this past weekend but will be heading back up North this weekend. Are you going to be out? If you need a second for the weekend, let me know. |

| Corey maybe in your free time you could fix your buddys handles and mount his new trolling motor for him. |
