How do you use a kayak cart?

How do you use a kayak cart anyway? Jeff demos how to load your kayak onto a cart so you can safely and easily tow it to and from the water.

If you put the wheels closer to the center of the kayak it will be 2x easier to move.

That’s pretty cool we have basically the same one but we have two of them and I just use two bungees on each side just to hold them together so that they don’t bunch up and with the Middle of the kayak or canoe been the whitest with the two bungees on the wheels it’s a four wheel cart kayak with the bungees self holding them selves and then we have a mobility cart that goes about 10 to 12 miles an hour and it’s just perfect hook up and just go to the water by river

Could this be used for a canoe? Or are there other carts that are specific for a canoe? looking for something heavy duty!

[@EbsAdventure]

Many of these carts can be used for small canoes. There are also heavy duty carts meant for larger and loaded boats. It also depends on the terrain you'll be going over. The cart in the video has solid (flat-free) tires that are good for smooth surfaces, but other carts have larger pneumatic tires for rougher terrain or sand.

I have the exact same Delta kayak, and a very similar cart. I love this boat but my problem with getting it solidly on the cart is that it has such a long keel on the bottom that it doesn't sit flat on the cart, and tilts to the side no matter how much you tighten it up. Is there a solution for that ?

[@EbsAdventure]

Hi Sheryl, you can try putting the cart farther up the hull on the boat where the hull is flatter. This placement also makes for a good strapping point as you can put the straps around the coaming of the cockpit to keep the kayak in place. Keep in mind that you can't lift the end as high when you're pulling it or the other end will drag. You could also try putting the kayak on upside down and see if that helps at all. Some carts are open in the middle (for example the C-TUG kayak/canoe cart) which prevents this whole issue from happening in the first place. Hope this helps!

@@EbsAdventure Thank you. I never thought of trying it upside down. I have tried putting it more to the flatter center, but it was more awkward to lift and pull it

I like whispering too. Finally "kickstand" to the stern. How much youtube misery can one person stand?

Now tow the kayak on a shingle beach. That cart won't last a minute.

That's why we also sell carts with all terrain and sand tire options.
