How to tie down a kayak on a Wheeleez™ kayak cart

Simple instructions for tying down your kayak on our kayak carts

[@ALFarrell-kv6ok]

Very helpful. Thank you for posting. When I first tried that same type of dolly 3 times, it collapsed 3 times. And no instructions came with mine. I felt like taking a sledge hammer to smash it, and to then go beat up the maker in China. But I scanned through 10 YT vids to pick up as many tips as possible for max efficiency. Here's what I found and added myself: 1. Put the dolly on the ground beside the middle of the yak, but at an angle so that when we swing the yak onto it the yak and dolly will be aligned with each other already. The stand should face towards the front of the yak, assuming you are going to pull it from the front like most seem to do. Having the dolly around the middle of the boat makes it more balanced and lighter to pull. 2. Go to both the back and front of the yak and tilt it up to look along under it from each end to see that the yak is centred. If not, wiggle/jiggle it into center position. 4. I only got one strap with mine. Put the unbuckled end of the supplied strap under and over a bar on the dolly that goes directly to the wheel (wheel bar) and pull it over the top of the boat to the other side and put it over and under the bar that goes to that wheel also. Pull that unbuckled end up towards the buckle and get it as tight as you can by both pulling the strap end and pushing the buckle. I also run each of 2 bungee cords from the wheel bar on each side and up over the boat to a d-ring on the other side of the boat. But just the strap or the bungee cords did work by themselves. 5. Push the stand back onto the frame of the dolly from whichever side of the boat is tilted up so that the stand cannot catch something on the ground and trip the dolly to collapse. Careful not to collapse it on an arm while pushing it back. Good to go. Oh, and practice at home in your yard two or three times so you aren't the Charlie Chaplin-like mug on the beach getting videod by someone for international YT entertainment as you struggle with it for an hour. I hope this helps. If any of you have any other tips to better or perfect this, I'm all ears and we all help each other here. Happy yaking!

The best video about attaching the kayak to this model of cart.

[@dantucker7402]

Very good video.

Definitely will try this today. My kayak keeps sliding off from the cart and it is very frustrating.

But they only come with one strap. Threw that fucker away and got a ratchet one. Figured a way to do it with one strap. Really put my mind into it because strapping this was not easy.
