Hi Dan,

Bungee cord wrapped around the toggle keeps them from dragging in the water and bouncing around on the deck while still allowing them to work in the normal fashion, cheap and easy.

Bill H.


If 'work in the normal fashion' means 'act as carrying handles', I agree completely.
A bungee can do a good job of keeping the handle under control when driving down the highway.
If the toggles are a safety device for a swimmer to grab, having the toggle up on the deck is not making things easy for the swimmer.
