Thread: Homemade cart

I only own a scupper cart, and it can be a problem to get it mounted without turning your kayak over onto its side. That may not be a problem, but I have a battery and other stuff that dumps out when I have to do this-it is a PITA. If you can get a cart that you can place your yak on without having to turn it over, then strap it down tightly, you might be better off. I can't keep my yak upright while getting the scupper rods through the scupper holes from underneath-it is almost a two-person task.

Hadn't thought of that, thanks

My nucanoe has channels/ tunnels running the full length of the haul,it also has scupper holes.To my understanding the scupper holes are susceptible to damage if used for cart alignment.My cart utilizes the channels/ tunnels,in the bottom of the kayak,the cart is self aligning via homemade arms covered with pool noodles.I can send a pic if you want to see my cart.

I made a DIY version of the Trail Tracker kayak cart and it works real well and easier to load and hook up on the kayak than my other cart which is over $100 new. I made my Trail Tracker style cart with used lawnmower tires I had and Pex tubing and fittings along with a big pool noodle and a round rod from Home Depot a few washers and keepers. Attached is a link to a video of the Trail Tracker cart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlIZsujwV-o
