I recently started strapping it to the back of my kayak upside down rather than taking it apart when I'm on the water. I use a bungee cord in addition to the strap, so it works perfectly for securing it to the kayak deck behind my seat. I also run the strap through the wheels in case they fall off.

Hi Bob! Thanks for the review I'm a new kayaker and shopping for a cart this review pretty well cemented why this one would be worth the extra cash over a DIY cart using the scupper holes of my kayak!

Finally a review for seakayaks and not fishing kayaks. Nicely done. Thank you.

I have one with the wheel widening attachment, but still have trouble on soft sand. I take the kayak to a public beach where the sand is sifted by a machine to remove any sharp objects. The sand get fluffed up and when i have to pull the kayak up hill to the car, the wheels dig in.

So helpful! Thank you!

Thank you! Same to you :)

Good video, very well put together and you speak well. I own the c-tug with the narrower wheels and it works very well over solid or semi-solid ground. However, on sugar sand, as found on the Jersey shore, is a complete nightmare. I would suggest doing an updated video showing use on the sugar sand. I have read too many negative comments that the wider tires also do not work well on soft sand. I will upgrade if I see a few videos showing the wider tires in actual use on the soft sandy terrain. thanks

I have the sand-track model; bigger wheels.... AMAZING cart! I ordered it by mistake; wanting the one with smaller wheels so I cold store it in my kayak. Im keeping the bigger one for better portaging. I flip it over and strap it to my WS Tsunami165 and then Im off!

Are the sides adjustable for different shaped hulls?

Thank you for awesome video.

would this fit on an aire inflatable kayak?

I have a sit on top kayak with an open storage spot to the back. Do you think, when it’s broken down, it would fit? How heavy is it? I live up on Camano and just want to be able to go out on my own.

How to carry the kayak on roads from house to any water body

LOve the sexy Cragar type mags.

It looks like the free ends of the strap are on the bottom. Is it easy to tighten when actually around the kayak?

Would this suit a sit on top.

I have Old Town Predator xl. It's 13.2ft long, and probably a fair bit wider than your sleek boats. Heavy too Would this C tug unit be big enough to cart my Predator kayak, do U think?

Would this cart work for an OLD TOWN Discovery 133k canoe? It's quite wide at 40.5 inches and want to be sure it would fit well on the top of this cart.

Best cart you can buy...BY FAR!!!!

Has anyone put silicon or oil on the wheel inners to stop wear and tear. Is it ok to spray a little to help it roll free and not wear with salt water dried inside wheel hub. Just asking before I do it. Normally run wet. Any help from you is much appreciated... Have two of these tugs work great. Purchased after my old wheels damaged my kayak split the drain plug section. Brilliant bit of kit. Only trouble I have is lining up the wheels when placing the kayak onto the wheels. Get used to it. Straps are fine. Thanks great video...

Good review. I’m thinking of getting one of these for taking my sup and daughters surfboard to our favourite beach which is a good 25 minute walk down s tough tarmac lane. Considering the newer sand wheels have you tried these at all? Ignore the angry idiot too 😂

I've got two of these carts: one with the regular wheels and one with the sand tracks. I live on the south end of Phuket Island in Thailand and sea kayak three or four times a week at different beaches. The sand here is composed primarily of ground coral and is quite granular and sharp. The plastic axles and bushings for the wheels are being ground to dust. The bottom side of the axles is wearing such that just holding up the cart without the kayak and spinning the wheels produces a large side to side wobble and just a few revolutions of the wheel. Rolling resistance is noticeably increased. The cart is basically a sound idea and it does break down quickly and goes in a hatch but, for the money, a longer lasting axle/bushing system is needed. I do not recommend this cart.

Great video I just got one

What are the wheels like? Do they sound plasticy and make a lot of noise when you are on surface roads or is the middle strip made of rubber?

Its great, i use it with my Hobie PA12 which is quite heavy (almost 50kg without gear). No problem whatever the terrain

Does it work on soft sand?

Can it be use for canoes

Can you leave this cart attached on a kayak while in the water?

only downside of this video is the seahawk shirt! nice vid

I bought one, and have had mixed results. I've had the pads and the wheels fall off a few times. Maybe I just need more practice with it, but so far I'm not liking it much.

Go Seahawks!!!

I find the difference between a cheap kayak cart and an expensive one is whether or not it folds in on itself in the direction it wheels. And that really really bugs me.

I must be doing something wrong. It does not stay in place. It comes off easily

I have an Ascend FS12 which was discontinued and for good reason. One is that none of the kayak trolleys work with it, not even the Ascend trolley that I purchased shortly after getting the kayak. This is a sit in kayak that has a recessed hull with a spine running from end to end. I love the kayak for it's stability and storage capabilities. I tried the C-Tug trolley which still would not work on my kayak due to the shape of my hull. Then I tried reversing the pads and glory be it worked. Hope this helps other kayakers with the same issues.

MOMMY MILKERS

Bought one for a canoe trip and it was the biggest piece of crap. Unless you are just going from your vehicle to the water and only a short distance then stay away from these. We met up with another couple on that trip who had the pneumatic wheels version of this cart which by this time I was wishing I had bought however when talking to them about theirs they hated it as well and were having similar problems. Probably great for kayaks but horrible for canoes.

But not for fishing kayaks

These carts are a complete pain in the ass to use

Nothing quick about putting that thing back together

Just so expensive.
