My handle was sinking after it was in the water for a few sets, even if we pulled it out between riders and tried draining/squeezing the water out. I was originally going to try putting great stuff in the handle, but didn't want the hard/rigid feel of that stuff. Was also afraid that eventually water would find it's way in there and get trapped in there, or make it difficult to get out. So what I did was take a foam noodle and cut pieces slightly larger than the opening of where the rope Y's and goes into the handle and pushed them up inside that area with a blunt long object. It took me about an hour to do it. I liked the idea of the foam noodle because it is super light and the handle area is still flexible and soft. Water can still get up there and easily drain out, but not as much can get in there now where it causes it to sink. Been out twice with it now and it's floating great!

Eubanks it doesn't matter how many times they replace it it will sink. We took silicon sealing tape and sealed the top and bottom and it has been floating great.
