Replacement release pads

[Slabbedout]

Anyone seen replacement pads for Scotty release clips locally in Victoria or on the island ? The only place I see them is online, just don’t know what they should actually cost and like to support local.

Has anyone had success reviving the grip pads ? I have tried cleaning with methyl hydrate and isopropyl, light buff with emery cloth but they just aren’t the same.

I’m pretty sure HC carries them. I bought a dozen from them at the boat show a few years ago and still have a handful.

I use alcohol swabs and they seem to be working Ok. Just keep the clips away from any type of liquid scent, if you use any. The oily sh*t isn’t clip-friendly at all.

yeah it’s scents that have caused them to be ruined I am sure.

Do you have the clips set for more tension? Just make sure before you buy new ones

Yes, the pads just get all grooved up and slick over time and if any scents get on them.

I have just kept buying new bulk release clips and crimping them on to the leash or I steal the pads so now I have a bunch of clips with out pads

I would think IO or trotac would have them

I got some at Island Outfitters in Victoria

 

[Slabbedout]

Trotac had them

One other thing you can do is remove the scotty tensioner on the clip and replace it with a nylon bushing or piece of fuel line.

Dawn dish soap. Wash the grease and oil off.

Mine usually don’t make it to this stage. Usually my buddy ( who thinks he can fish ) messes up and send it to the bottom
