I know this has been discussed before, but couldnt remember where i seen it. The bungee type tie downs are ready to replace on my 04,ZX 250 how much of a problem will it be to change them myself or would it be better to let a dealer change them. What would be the cost per unit?

Go to Wal Mart and go back in the automotive section. There will be a plastic can full of black bungee cords/loops that have the black ball on the end. There are 15-20 in the can for less than $5.00. Anyway take them home and cut the ball off and they are the perfect length to replace the stock cords on your boat. These are a little thicker and you will need to save the hooks from the ones on your boat to use on these new ones. You access the tie off point beneath your gunnels through the rod lockers. Tie off to the mounting point and you are set. This is much cheaper than the factory ones and last longer. They also come in other colors if you want to spice it up. Carry one extra as a spare too.

I bought a pack of them last night, So i will be fixing mine this weekend.

I just replaced the ones in ZX. Go to Academy and look over by the kayaks. They have black bungee cord (12 ft I believe) for under $10. On your old bungees take off the hook and just put it on the new cord. Plus a bonus is the stuff they have is a little thicker, but will still work and will last longer.

Me and my roommate did this (coupla chicks) and it took us less than 1/2 hour to do both. Plus we have plenty left over for future changeouts. No problem

Thanks guys I thought this was gonna be hard. Hope all yall have great luck this year.
