Easy DIY no tilt Hobie Outback kayak scupper cart

Updated version of this video click here. • No tilt Hobie Outback ... .......The easy way to put your Hobie Outback or any other scupper hole kayak on the cart Without actually tilting it over on its side: Purchase the bungee kits here : anzoltacklecom...

Awesome, but I have a small mod to your mod to make it even easier and quicker. Instead of all the clips, and clipping to each cart post, then dropping one bungee with clips down a scupper and clipping to other bungee and pulling the bungee up, and repeating for other side, try this: Permanently attach a 1’ piece of bungee with a ring on the other end to each cart post. Then make a Y shaped bungee with 2 clips on the 2 ends. Set kayak on wheels, drop the 2 Y ends down the scuppers and attach each clip to the 2 rings on the bungees attached to the cart posts. Hold the tag end of the Y or attach it to something (chair, D ring…) and lift the kayak. Done. Less clips, less clipping/attaching and detaching, quicker and really easy. 😄 The other benefit is the clips are on the “3rd bungee” (the Y) which allows you to attach it to the car/boat/storage somewhere so as you mentioned at the end, you don’t lose it. The other two 1’ length bungees are permanent on the cart, so you won’t lose them either.

[@davidcarvalho3663]

BRILLIANT!! I’m sure the kayak marketing guys have stolen this!!

[@bobw9993]

Absolute genius! Thank you! I just made a pvc scupper cart and it was a complete PITA to put the kayak on it. This works great!

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Awesome glad to hear, thank you.

[@pitchkapizda8355]

Best genius idea I’ve seen yet 😳👍🏼

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Thank you !

[@alandecorte2962]

Well done. Please show how you install them for retrieving your kayak from the water. Thanks

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Thank you, I have a real time video of how install them on the beach , here’s the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4OufGB4pdKiprMsi=TNltVhCZxyhjzOIt

[@stevec9889]

Where can I find DIY stainless pad eyes that will anchor indies the cart tube?

[@Yakanglr]

I use a similar system, well done!

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Thank you !

[@johnmucciolo6474]

Brilliant idea! Q: Can you share the length of the bungees?

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I’ll measure as soon as I get a chance

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Just the bungees are 19 inches long. The total length with carabiners is 22 inches .

[@basilholloway7819]

Nice, thanks for sharing.

[@The_Big_Soup3]

Anyway you can post all the links to exactly what you have I'm the description please? This would help out with transport a TON

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Hey, not exactly sure what links you are asking for. The link to where to purchase the bungee kits is the description. This is it. Anzoltacklecompany.com I have recently upgraded the pad eyes to stainless steel so they won’t break.

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Here’s the video on the new stainless pad eyes : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJbJlaWths-Uma8si=Qor08Y_NkxOZR_dp

[@The_Big_Soup3]

@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095 oh crap I didn't read it properly. That's the hobie scupper cart correct? I came to your page from a reddit post and they said it was some type of after market cart system

[@The_Big_Soup3]

@@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095 but everything else thanks man I appreciate it!

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Yes it’s the Hobie scupper cart .

[@johnvanvliet3937]

Can this done using the scupper holes in front of the seat

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

It probably can if you find a place to anchor the bungees to pull the cart up. But you would probably need specific measurements for the bungees, the ones I make are meant to be used on the rear scuppers and attached to the top of the vantage seat.

[@johnvanvliet3937]

Thanks for replying, I will have to investigate this.

[@araujowilian3549]

Great idea! Now can you do it with the kayak going down hill? Like on a slippery boat ramp with a full kayak rods fish cooler, any of you doing this video do it at the boat ramp or at the beach not your back yard ??????

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Sure , I just turn the kayak perpendicular to the boat ramp . Enough so it doesn’t slide down when I put the wheels on. Same thing on a sloped beach, Pull it up as much as you can onto the sand on an angle. You can also put a couple of small rocks under each wheel or a chock at the boat ramp to keep the wheels in place . I’ll try to make a couple of videos in the near future showing all of this.

[@steeevo0136]

What a great idea. I know what I'm doing tomorrow ! Don't suppose you have any tips on how to convince a wife that this job is higher priority than a few (OK a lot) of others that are outstanding ?

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

🤣Tell her it will eventually save you a lot more time on the water and you’ll be home quicker when you don’t have to unload all of your stuff to put the cart on

[@luisoti1743]

Nice 👍

[@jasonward4675]

Genius

[@pernamore4224]

Has this cart given you any issues about hull cracks in the scuppers? Great tut btw and thank you.

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

No issues at all, this is my 4th season with it. I put the tennis balls on for a little extra cushioning but there’s probably no need, Hobie reinforced the scuppers a few years ago to be used with the carts .

[@davidsmith929]

Does this work on the Heavy Duty Hobie Cart

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

Yes !

[@philipcappelli2938]

What's length is bungee cut?

[@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095]

I set 2 screws in a piece of wood 18 inches apart. Use the screw to make your loops . They can be off by a bit . Anywhere between 17 to 19 inches will work fine .
