A Diy Kayak Cart Experiment - Florida Fish Hunter
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video I took it upon myself to see if I could come up with a simple kayak cart utilizing easily sourced components that could be assembled by most people that are handy with basic hand tools. I have seen similar designs on the internet but being that I normally fish salt water I never considered it because they all seem to incorporated some sort of steel axle which equates to future issues dealing with rust. My version is more saltwater friendly requiring virtually no maintenance other than your basic wash down after use.

#FFHDIY
This is the best design I have seen!!!!!! Building mine this weekend.
That's awesome! Thanks laserlife3065! 😊👍
By far the best one I’ve seen. I’ve been watching a lot of DIY on carts. Great job
Thanks Jesse! I appreciate that! 😊👍
Same here
Thanks Vien! 😊👍
I like this, even thinking about making it interchangeable for a pair of thrusters
Thanks! A pair of thrusters would be something to see for sure 😊👍
Thought I'd stop and thank you. I made mine from electrical metal conduit and joined Them with parts for pipe maker. Works awesome.
That is awesome! Thank you so much for that! 😊👍
That’s pretty sweet. With your design it gave me an idea for making it also attach to outriggers.
That's awesome! I'm glad the design has inspired a possible new mod 😊👍
Best one yet. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you too! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊👍
Good engineering!
Thanks! 😊👍
Nice
Thank you! ☺️👍
Awesome design!👌. I’ll be brainstorming off of this. Thanks for sharing your great idea! 👍👍
You're most welcome Charlie! Thanks for watching! 😃👍
Looks like a great design John.
Thanks Tracy! My collection of medical walkers continues to grow lol! 😉
@@FFHTV hahahaha. You been fishing lately?
😔 Sadly no as my care taker role has only increased exponentially but I remain positive and hopeful that my situation will eventually change and lead up to more free time to fish in 2020.
@@FFHTV Praying for you John.
Thank you Tracy. That really means a lot to me 🙂
Nice structure!!! Congratulations!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
I notice that exists already a rectangular aluminium hollow bar on your kayak. I don't know the use but it looks "free". So .... you could use to install two curved rectugular legs one per each end of the existing bar with the same weels avoiding all the extra job!!! Additionally the kayak could be stay more up in order to protect the steering fin when you go at a ramp!!!! Think about....
Have good time every time!!!!
Best regards from Hellas (Greece)!!!
Hi Thiodor! Most people just want a much simpler method that they can easily make to move their kayak which is why I made this video but yes, the square aluminum tube that you mention is used as the main method for transporting this kayak which I show in this video: th-cam.com/video/WTK80BSy91E/w-d-xo.html 😊👍
Some little old lady is still looking for her walker 🤪
I agree! 😊👍
Love it. Great idea, brilliant.
Thank you! 😊👍
GENIUS!
Thank You! 😊👍
Very inovative!
Thanks John! 😊👍
Ya lo había visto antes hecho por un americano , pero como siempre, usted siempre tiene una forma de hacerlo con un toque especial.
Great job 👍👍👍
Gracias mi hermano! 😊👍
Le tengo hechos algunas modificaciones únicas a mi hobie pa 12 , que me gustaría compartir con usted Bruno. Si hubiese alguna forma de hacérselo llegar?
¿Puedes compartirlos por email?
Nice video man! Very detailed! And nice music selections too! hahaha
Thank you so much 😃👍
Nicely done!
Thank you sir! 😊👍
Ok my grandma won’t miss her walker much lol
😄 Well... I don't know about that but you can usually find walkers for a couple of dollars at your local goodwill store. 😊👍
Thanks for sharing sir, great design so far on TH-cam 👍👍
Thank You! 😊👍
Genious! 👍
Looks promising for most part besides through time and going through rougher terrain the PVC will most likely break
Pvc is very resilient. UV light degradation is the main culprit when using pvc in an outdoor environment so painting the pvc tubing will eliminate that problem and help it maintain its strength and integrity.
Can I use a pipe cuter to cut that
Pipe cutter... I don't see why not... 😊👍
Are you doing another video of putting it in the water with that landing gear?
Great job BTW
Thanks pedro! I only have a snippet of it in a video that my brother in law shot while I was towing him in... th-cam.com/video/gzQZ8U2FMdY/w-d-xo.html
@@FFHTV now I know why your brother-in-law had problems with his pedal drive, it was that Yankees hat but he was wearing......lol.......go Mets!!!
By the way where are those canals that you guys were located at. What state are you in?
😂 Lake Monroe in Florida 😊👍
@@FFHTV where did you launch from??
All looks great. One question. Does the wheels get in the way of paddling? Looks close.
Thanks Didmy30! I can tell you that it absolutely does not get in the way of paddling - not even close. 😊👍
Great DIY Project. I was looking to do something similar to the Boonedox but not the price. Great build. Is there anything you would have done different now that you have had it a few years.
Thanks McCann! I would not change a thing on that build. 😊👍
Those wheels are sexy AF 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Excellent video. If I'm seeing correctly, there would be enough parts from one walker to make two axles, right?
Thanks Marti and yes I believe you are correct. 😊👍
I'm having trouble seeing how u got from the original axel build to what u ended up with. you never showed what was involved
As an option, a second inner and outer tube was added to the center section of the original axle build and felt that it was not necessary to have to include this step in the video but I guess I was wrong...
Nice build. What did you use the square tube for? Is there a video of that build?
Thanks! The square tube was for making the base to mount Boonedox landing gear legs. Here is the video link to that: th-cam.com/video/WTK80BSy91E/w-d-xo.html
I finally located a walker at a reasonable ($10) price and now to get the other components together....have you found any other wheels that are worth trying or are the C-Tug Kiwi on Amazon the best deal?? Didn't look at the cost of the one component that may be most difficult to find....wheels...(wasn't thinking the wheels would be over $50)
I really did not look around for wheels since I already had 3 pairs that had the right size hole to fit that one inch diameter aluminum tubing. What I would suggest is to go to your local hardware store or harbor freight and see if you can find wheels with a large solid plastic hub area so the hole used for its axle can be sized up to a 1 inch diameter opening.
floridafishhunter Yeah, that's my plan...I need to make a run to harbor freight anyway (1hr drive, so I make a list, lol). Thanks!
Does it add much stress to the tracks...?? Would it work with a Kayak that is 95lb.? How has it held up?? Great Video.. was very easy to understand...
Hi S Chambers! There is no load or stress to be concerned with on the tracks. All the weight and load of the kayak is on the axle itself when deployed. The pivot mounts that are on the tracks are just there to maintain axle position when moving after deployment or when flipped up to store on the top deck of the kayak. The Slayer 10 shown in the video weighs in at 81 pounds with just the seat and propel drive mounted. Once all my other gear is added I am absolutely sure that it's way over the 100 pound mark and have had absolutely no issues at all to date and has held up perfectly. I hope I have answered your questions and thanks for liking the video. 😊👍
Do you think 1" PVC in place of the aluminum would hold up? I have the same yak and already have c-tug so the wheels wouldnt be an issue. If so could you tell me what the width of the axle would need to be? Thanks!
Pvc flexes too much for me which is why I went with aluminum but you are more than welcome to try it out and let me know your results. My axle width is currently 58 inches. 😊👍
I see by the wheels somebody else gave up on their C-Tug.
😆 That somebody would not be me lol... I love the c-tugs. I own (2) of them that I use specifically as a doubled up cart for my Hobie Tandem Island. 😉
Think this design is good for the pa14?
Honestly... I would have to say "Probably Not" mainly due to the sheer weight of the pa14 especially when loaded down with gear but if you do decide to use this method I would love to see how it works out for you. 😊👍
Did you know a werewolf worked on your kayak?
Yup and he’s awesome! :)
Did you make the saddle "T" , or did you buy that somewhere?
I purchased them at Lowes. Here is the link: www.lowes.com/pd/LASCO-1-in-x-3-4-in-90-Degree-PVC-Sch-40-Tee/3371266
@@FFHTV Awesome! Glad I asked
Awsome video thank you sir.
Your kayak looks nice and wide probably wider than my hobie mirage compass kayak kayak.
Well tried to make this but the old lady using it kept hitting me with her Cain so cant get the walker yet 😔 😉 😂
Well at least you tried... 😊👍
Wait what’s with that so called music? That’s not any kind of fishing song, eeesh…
Could you move any slower!
Of course I can! 😂
Nicely done!
Thank you! 😊👍
