For those who have outfitted a Northstar canoe for whitewater, how do you stow your lining rope/painters?

Usually, I drill holes in the end decks and add some shock/bungee cord there to lash down either a throw bag or butterfly coil of rope so I can grab it and swim to shore.

The Northstar end decks don't seem large enough to accommodate lashing down a coil of rope so I'm curious what others have done? I've thought about attaching it to the grab handle but it seems like that could be a little harder to get at in a difficult situation?

That's what I did on my Mad River Destiny. When the bungee cord wore out, I went with a cup hook and twist tie on the underside of the end deck to hold a coil of rope.

Agree, the deck plate on NS Trillium seemed too small. Using this on the grab handle

This is what I came up with. Removed the end decks and added some bungee cord wrapped around the end deck and tied underneath. The rivets keep it in place.
