Dolphin Shell Handle

Divein

I would like to fit a decent handle to my dolphin shell so my buddies can lift me out of the water and to make lifting and moving the unit around easier. I am using a wing so I need to make something that will be fit for purpose and not stress the plastic shell. I do not have access to any machining or fabrication facilities except a Dremel.

Any ideas or mods that you have carried out that have worked. All replies gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

I added a HDPE (High Density Polyethelene) spreader plate to keep the stock handle from cracking the shell. It has worked so far. The concept was to spread the stress over a wider area of the shell and not concentrate the force between the two slots in the shell. This can be done with just a few hand tools.


Here is a link to the post I did about it, others also offered some other ideas:
