I've seen pictures of a pad that attaches with velcro on contoured canoe yokes somewhere? If you have any ideas of what they're called or where I can find them, please let me know. Or, if you have any other ideas. My Bourquin pads just won't fit and I hate to change out yokes, I've already done enough mods. THANKS!

Something like this? Minicell foam might also be an option, you can cut and shape and contour to fit your yoke, and adhesive backed velcro mightbe a way to attach it to the yoke. Looks like a nice river boat.

That is exactly what I was looking for. The minicell I think might come off at an inopportune time? I clicked on it and doesn't seem to be an option to buy it on this website, though?

It's a Novacraft Pal. I took out both seats and the kneeling thwart. I put the bow seat where the kneeling thwart was and put a regular thwart where the bow seat was. Then filled in the holes in the gunwale with some nylon coated rivets.

I hope to paddle it somewhere tomorrow? Local rivers are are still flooded and Current, Jack's Fork, and Eleven Point are "Officially" closed.

Any other places I can find a similar yoke pad? Can't seem to find a way to "Buy" it here?

These two options look like they would fit the bill:

Yup, that Level Six pad looks like what I'm looking for? Never noticed it on Rutabaga's website, thanks for finding it for me! It's ordered; thanks all!

Got it in the mail Friday from Rutabagas. Will put it on and try it next week if I can get over this bronchitis/pneumonia that's got me down.

I'm eager to see how it fits and performs as I just got a Nova Craft with a contoured yoke as well.
