Posted here, as it's specific to solo yokes:
I love the spring creek yoke clamps, but not how they seem to be always twisted around, and never in the right place. I tried hot glue, but it didn't want to stick. I found a much more elegant solution with 1/8" shock cord to both keep the clamp sprung open and keep it in the right place:




Dotted line showing how the cord is run through the clamp/yoke.






Now it's Easy on/ Easy off in no time at all. It also can now be clamped/removed with one hand, just not while you're trying to take a video of it without blocking the camera :)

That is a damn good modification. Thanks. I will be applying this to my own setup.

That's pretty sweet.

I'll do that to my yoke today. Thanks!

Not as thoroughly thought out as yours, and I want to be able to use on other canoes. I cut rubber bands from a bike tube and use to hold the clamp in place.

That butthead is pretty smart for a smart guy.

Wow! I have seen anyone stand on their head in canoe like that! ?

Thanks for the tip. My trip in June has lots of short portages. I have always found that securing the clamps was a real PITA. I rigged mine up today, works like a champ.

Excellent mod!
