I would think that replacing the rope with solid bars to tow the trailer would work pretty well. It would prevent the trailer from coming forward and bumping the ski. The bars would have to be hinged on both ends.
It was actually vinyl covered chain and it didn't break, an end linkage did so the solid bars idea, while not bad would only solve the problem of the trailer bumping the ski......not coming unattached.
I talk to the guy that came up with the idea and has temporarily stopped the business. You can still find a video or two of them on TH-cam, but he plans to start up again sometime in the future. That’s all I could get, I tried to get this together for you, sorry didn’t go as I planned. He lives in Minnesota and iam in Tennessee, had been awhile since I’d seen him. Didn’t know he had stopped.
I know I'm late to the party but thought I would share some information for your viewers. These were very popular in the U.S. for island hopping 20ish years ago. It's a Hydro Trailer. They are not meant to be pulled with a chain or rope. There is a rigid rotomolded A-arm that would quick attach to a through hull mount on the ski deck. These can be had for under $200 in the U.S. but don't buy it if it doesn't have the factory A-arm. With the factory mount it rides high and dry.
How bout using an old ski hull. Gut the engine out. Seems if the trailer was a little longer it might have been more stable. But the loose cargo probably what caused the bouncing around of the trailer. Good luck and good video.
You should try an inflatable stand up paddle board, light weight, usually has a carry capacity of 110kg, some how tie it up so the front is above the water jet and it should make for a great trailer
I'm really enjoying this series. I was surprised how much gear you were able to load in that trailer. You are in a great location to be able to ride to that beautiful island and camp. I was pleasantly surprised when I experienced Moreton Island, for one day about a year ago. If I can make it back to Oz, I will rent a 4x4 and go back, explore the island and camp out. Btw, you had a 30 pack of brews, did they all explode? I'm thinking some survived the journey, well?
Thanks Billy. None survived unfortunately - such a tragedy. Yeah - we certainly fitted a lot in - perhaps too much!! When are the hydrotrailers coming out?
For most areas a mobile phone will get you out of trouble but if you’re going off-shore a VHF is worth having. I have a standard horizon HX300E which is fairly basic and did an evening course with the coastguard to get my VHF user license. If you haven’t already got a PLB it might be worth considering a VHF radio with DSC. They are more expensive but have a built in GPS for distress calls.
@@JetSkiCamping well thanks for the help... I was not shore to get the VHF or PLB . but for me I would just get both for pice and mind... ill have a look at your model..
How utterly fascinating, I never realised that there were commercially manufactured trailers made for jet skis! Clearly, this opens up whole new opportunities for travelling aboard one's jet ski! Interesting channel, subscribed.
Their are a bunch of different ones out there, same with Kayak towable's. Thing is most companies that make them go under fast being both a vary niche market and have insanely high price tags. Seen some people convert dirt cheap sit-in yaks with a skirt seal to do the same thing.
Hi, I found mine secondhand. Apparently it was purchased a few years earlier from a waverunner dealer. I don't know who manufactured it but to my knowledge they are no longer available.
A snaphook is not suitable for that task. It is prone to deform and unhook itself under load. Use D-shackles at both ends. Not as convenient, but up to the task.
G’Day Brett - have considered something similar but unsure how it would go with cargo plus 3 jerrycans of fuel, especially in a corner. Most rescue boards are only designed to float a single person lying flat. Let me know if you give it a try.
Jet Ski Camping well the main rescue boards are actually designed for 2 people, 1 person to rescue, and the person needing help that the rescuer then pulls on and holds safely. I have one like that for surfing and rigged for fishing, and have taken a a good bit of weight on it no worries. You don’t want to make sharp turns with speed, but you shouldn’t be doing that anyway hauling so much gear. But HSA also makes larger sleds specifically for fishing and hauling. Wider and more buoyant. Not a doubt in my mind they’d work better than this trailer, but obviously very pricey, so not really a good DIY highsurfrescue.com/product/the-fish-board/ th-cam.com/video/EzIfTkCcqsA/w-d-xo.html here’s a video of my old setup with my HSA sled, but it’s the smaller sled. I no longer use that setup, but I’d trust hundreds of pounds on it.
We were in very deep water and worried the tow hook may have been ripped out of the fibreglass hull. Best to get to shore ASAP and hope the venturi effect stops the hull flooding.
Seriouly don’t know how depth of water or Venturi effect matters when it come to saving beer Oh well to each his own thank for educational video Cheers
I had about 4 beers in my ski jacket pockets and 2 of them burst when I made it to the top of the mountain soaking my jacket and I smelled of beer the rest of the ski trip haha.
I would add 2 identical chains to the back of the jet ski then connect the “Y” chains from the jet sky to the “Y” on the trailer with a single short chain run through a torpedo buoy. “>~
Super cool. I loved how the beer made it in first before the water.
Why am I watching this, i don’t even have a jet ski 😂
Same 😂😂😂😂
Not yet
Noooo not the beer!!! nice video mate, good to watch some more jetski content! subbed
Thanks! Much appreciated. Love that tuna and good work with your website - well done!
Not the beer!
Time to head home.
I woulda headed back inland ASAP! Another carton is in order!

It looks like a great idea, but definitely there is potential!
Sick snapping sound effect
I love how the beer goes in before the water lol
Here in the States, the beer is always sealed in a cold ice chest. Priorities ;-)
Here in Australia we call the extra case a back up, kinda like insurance 😉🍺
Y-sling it with a shock line 20’ behind the jet. We did this with a HOBBICAT 16’ a few years ago... y-sling and a 50’ shock line! Lol. Good fun
Thanks for the suggestion. I reckon that could work well!
All the beer gone. But I was worried about the gas cans when I saw it flip over.
You should give a cargo wave a try, they have plenty of storage and tow great behind the ski.
Were can u find 1

Great idea! like it!.i want to make one like my homebuilt jetski.... .. New subscriber
you should think about putting a foil underneath and then it would ride smooth, look at foiling boards or videos
where do they sell that pull along storage thing?

Great idea! I wanted something that could fit inside the car but if you had a double trailer that would work really well.
This is crazy. I have always wanted to do something like this. I typed it into TH-cam and here I am I found this video awesome
Innovative ! Congratulations..... good work.
Thanks mate!
2:20 where can i gets this hat
No beer? We're going home, trips over.
But seriously, were you gonna drink warm beer in the first place?
Could have cooled it in a sand hole
You should try an inflatable stand up paddle board, light weight, usually has a carry capacity of 110kg, some how tie it up so the front is above the water jet and it should make for a great trailer
Great idea! Thanks Justin.
I'd like to know the style of hook that failed
How about towing a rib/dingy?
I'd just cancel the trip once I discovered the beer gone!!lol
It did cross our minds Derek but glad we continued. Thanks for watching!
hey finally someone else with a Kawasaki how do you like it? how many hours and year is it? love my ultra lx
Mum... is that you?
@@JetSkiCamping I hope not lol
Just kidding. Really like the Ultra Lx. It’s a 2017 model. Wouldn’t mind cruise control.
Ultra LX 310 2018 absolutely amazing machine.
Nice!
Hi, where did you buy it? Thanks
Secondhand online. Check out the earlier video on it.
Where did you get it?
online - the first video in the series gives the details.
ficou muito bom.
inferior do casco teria que ser como um catamarã, pois o hidrojato não iria interferir na navegabilidade do reboque
Teria que ficar mais distante, uns 4 a 5 mt no mínimo, para que a turbina não exerça pressão no que esta sendo rebocado.

how do you like the Kawasaki? what year is it and any problems?
I have been running a 2005 Honda in Galveston bay Texas for about 12 years now,
but Honda got out of the pwc game...thinking about Kawasaki
2017 ultra lx - basic but very reliable and heaps of storage.
@@JetSkiCamping reliability and storage...sounds good, thank you for the info
hey mate I have a Question do you have a UHF? if you do what you think i should get? just if I break down I can ask for a tow
For most areas a mobile phone will get you out of trouble but if you’re going off-shore a VHF is worth having. I have a standard horizon HX300E which is fairly basic and did an evening course with the coastguard to get my VHF user license.

Thanks Felix. To my knowledge these trailers are no longer manufactured. Hopefully someone will release a “version 2”. Glad you enjoyed!

Run a longer tow line to tow the ski trailer, 5-7 meters and you won’t have this problem again.
Yeah I think that would have been best but unfortunately I can’t try your suggestion... Keep watching....
Yeah I’m thinking run a longer line behind.... it’s to close to the ski
G'Day Brad - yeah that would have been better.
Awesome video, I Hope you make it big on here!
Just when you think you seen everything. An this comes along now i think iv seen it all boy's an girl's.
We used to fill a 4 seat inertube to go out camping on the lake
Great idea - did you strap everything in the center?
Saw that coming, but entertaining footage enjoy.
The Beer is all gone - ABORT MISSION
Ha ha - yeah we did consider it!
Hi mate...where i can purchase that trailer?tnx mate

Loved this video! Like, comment, subscribe!
Thanks so much!! Really appreciate your comment and glad you enjoyed the video! There’s more coming.
Jetski trailer 😳😀😀 cool
If that was Fosters cans floating around I’d just give up and go home right away
Ha ha!
A snaphook is not suitable for that task. It is prone to deform and unhook itself under load. Use D-shackles at both ends. Not as convenient, but up to the task.
Thanks Rusty. That’s what it came with but too true! I wish I had known!!
No more beer beers all gone....that's it trips over or turn around go pick up some more beer and head back out .
Hi bro how can find some one like this please I need ur help
This video explains how I purchased mine: th-cam.com/video/4WWXgA46xtQ/w-d-xo.html
a High Surf Accessories rescue sled, and some dry bags, is a MUCH better solution...

Did you just chuck that beer into the ocean?
Curious why you didn’t stop immediately
Access situation
Could’ve possibly
Saved those poor beers

Oh well to each his own thank for educational video
Cheers
Ha ha - yes very true. I need to reconsider my priorities!!!
All you had to do for success is look to the guys that pull rescue sleds in far worse conditions.
Thanks for sharing
No worries Greg! Hope you enjoyed. There's more to come...
All the beer comments, I’ve actually read that some European countries drink warm beer. It’s very niche though.
I have had cans of beer rub together whilst 4 wheel driving , a whole carton gone upon reaching destination !! 🙁damn
It's a tragedy!
I had about 4 beers in my ski jacket pockets and 2 of them burst when I made it to the top of the mountain soaking my jacket and I smelled of beer the rest of the ski trip haha.
I would add 2 identical chains to the back of the jet ski then connect the “Y” chains from the jet sky to the “Y” on the trailer with a single short chain run through a torpedo buoy. “>~
RIP Great Northerns :(
My dad drinks that much beer in 2 days
Beer will explode after beeing shaken in a jet ski. I've seen it before.
Nah,they just rub together and wear hole's in each other...individually put them in a foam housing...problem solved!
No beer no camping, simple
No beer abort mission
Randomly the trailer hooks off oh well that was only 700$
if I had to do all that work. I'll stay home
ha ha!!
Funny how the video ends right after discovering the loss of their beer...
Or get a boat?
I’m working on it!!
Seems like a head ache. Sell that couch and buy a smaller boat u can hold all that cap and some friends. Makes way more sense to me lol
How the fucking fuck has this guy 10 mil Subs but 80k most watched video
Poor beer.
Can you buy me a sea doo sprk
Just buy a boat..
This is why you bring weed instead of beer!!!
Preach!!
buying a normal boat with that money instead makes more sense....
Yeah that would be more sensible, but......
or just buy a boat
I’m working on it!
Jet Ski haha lol i was just joking around but i understand the jet ski trailer if you can’t afford a boat
Definitely alcohol abuse.
