Wind Deflectors & T- Handles
I am looking for a wind deflector to go on my Ocean Express.
I have seen a few on skaters and googled Wind screens, wind deflectors, etc. Not finding anything of that sort. I found a couple of places but not what I have seen
Also I searched last night for T handles for people to hold on while running. I know there used to be a thread and went page by page and couldn't find it either

IMHO, T-handles and the like don't belong on boats. People fall on boats, period. It happens. T-handle to the midsection is instant internal injuries.
I'd install some thick webbing that comes out from under the seat. Make sure it's mounted securely. When you don't want it, tuck it back under the seats.

I agree with Sydwayz metal T handles are dangerous. I would use the arc handles that anchor on both ends to the elbow rest.

Thanks Cat. I sent them an email and hopefully I will hear from them on Monday.
I have a local fab shop that I never thought about making the T handles for me.
I know what you are both saying about the T handles but I wouldnt feel secure with a strap.
Thanks Again

I would not put T handles on a boat either. You never know when a weird wave will jerk you around.
Either round handles (even those in my Cigs have bruised some people) or VERY RELIABLE straps that are well attached.

Can't find the photos, but didn't the rerig of the old Zuperman boat have nice straps on the seats. Baja has some nice T handles and the Apache with the removable round handles was very nice.
