Boonedox Landing Gear Install for Hobie Pro Angler

[@dustinthomas3836]

This video was super helpful. #1 I also used the wrong size lock washer. #2 using the paracord to get the backing plate into place might have saved my marriage (just kidding - maybe). Appreciate the content.

We are glad that the video helped you Dustin!

Hi mate I've got a pa14 with boon dox too but I put mine threw the rear scupper plugs as all the support is really under the yak im in Sydney Australia

The boondox landing gear looks nice. How much extra weight does it add? I use Hobie Cart. Load it in out my truck bed. I've been doing that with both my pa12s almost 10 yrs now. I modified my cart. Replaced the top plugs with Hobie thread in black tie down plugs. They fit tight & perfect & I can drop a bungee through my kayak scupler holes, hook the Bungie clips to top of new plugs in the cart. Then I just lift back of my pro angler & bungie pulls cart up into holes perfect every time. Don't need anyone's help & never tip your kayak over again. You do have to get small double side carabineer clips to attach to bungee so they fit through the scupler holes. Home Depot & Lowe's carry them. I leave my kayak rigged at all times I haven't had roll it on its side to load my cart in 8+years. I also built a kayak stand on casters that sits level with my truck bed. So I can pull my kayak into my bed from the stand, or from my bed onto the stand. I only lift my kayak 1 time per trip when I load it back into my truck when I'm leaving. I wouldn't use a trailer if someone gave one to me. I wouldn't be able to go alot of remote areas I do if I had a trailer & if you don't have a trailer at the big lake in my area you don't have to pay to park & fish. If you have a trailer you gotta pay to park!

We have a few steep ramps around here that launch and load without a trailer a huge pain in the ass. But I agree, I would much rather manage with a load in and out of my truck bed.

I would like to know the installation weight as well? Are there other wheels options? And how is the solid wheel in deep sand? THX

[@boonedoxusa241]

The Sand Trax wheel is a good upgrade if you are using them in rough terrain or sand.

What are the 2 small metal clips used for? Directions are unclear. Thanks

[@rfphill]

I wonder if magnets would help with the installation...

This is not what an install video should be. It should be short, concise and in a format that someone can follow along with.
