Awesome, but I have a small mod to your mod to make it even easier and quicker. Instead of all the clips, and clipping to each cart post, then dropping one bungee with clips down a scupper and clipping to other bungee and pulling the bungee up, and repeating for other side, try this: Permanently attach a 1’ piece of bungee with a ring on the other end to each cart post. Then make a Y shaped bungee with 2 clips on the 2 ends. Set kayak on wheels, drop the 2 Y ends down the scuppers and attach each clip to the 2 rings on the bungees attached to the cart posts. Hold the tag end of the Y or attach it to something (chair, D ring…) and lift the kayak. Done. Less clips, less clipping/attaching and detaching, quicker and really easy. 😄 The other benefit is the clips are on the “3rd bungee” (the Y) which allows you to attach it to the car/boat/storage somewhere so as you mentioned at the end, you don’t lose it. The other two 1’ length bungees are permanent on the cart, so you won’t lose them either.
It probably can if you find a place to anchor the bungees to pull the cart up. But you would probably need specific measurements for the bungees, the ones I make are meant to be used on the rear scuppers and attached to the top of the vantage seat.
Hey, not exactly sure what links you are asking for. The link to where to purchase the bungee kits is the description. This is it. Anzoltacklecompany.com I have recently upgraded the pad eyes to stainless steel so they won’t break.
@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095 oh crap I didn't read it properly. That's the hobie scupper cart correct? I came to your page from a reddit post and they said it was some type of after market cart system
Great idea! Now can you do it with the kayak going down hill? Like on a slippery boat ramp with a full kayak rods fish cooler, any of you doing this video do it at the boat ramp or at the beach not your back yard ??????
Sure , I just turn the kayak perpendicular to the boat ramp . Enough so it doesn’t slide down when I put the wheels on. Same thing on a sloped beach, Pull it up as much as you can onto the sand on an angle. You can also put a couple of small rocks under each wheel or a chock at the boat ramp to keep the wheels in place . I’ll try to make a couple of videos in the near future showing all of this.
No issues at all, this is my 4th season with it. I put the tennis balls on for a little extra cushioning but there’s probably no need, Hobie reinforced the scuppers a few years ago to be used with the carts .
What a great idea. I know what I'm doing tomorrow ! Don't suppose you have any tips on how to convince a wife that this job is higher priority than a few (OK a lot) of others that are outstanding ?
🤣Tell her it will eventually save you a lot more time on the water and you’ll be home quicker when you don’t have to unload all of your stuff to put the cart on
I set 2 screws in a piece of wood 18 inches apart. Use the screw to make your loops . They can be off by a bit . Anywhere between 17 to 19 inches will work fine .
Just got my bungee kits from you. This has to be one of the bests mods for my Outback. Thanks for making these available.
You’re very welcome , thank you for the shout out !

BRILLIANT!! I’m sure the kayak marketing guys have stolen this!!
Absolute genius! Thank you! I just made a pvc scupper cart and it was a complete PITA to put the kayak on it. This works great!
Awesome glad to hear, thank you.
Where can I find DIY stainless pad eyes that will anchor indies the cart tube?
Well done. Please show how you install them for retrieving your kayak from the water. Thanks
Thank you, I have a real time video of how install them on the beach , here’s the link :

Can this done using the scupper holes in front of the seat
It probably can if you find a place to anchor the bungees to pull the cart up. But you would probably need specific measurements for the bungees, the ones I make are meant to be used on the rear scuppers and attached to the top of the vantage seat.
Thanks for replying, I will have to investigate this.
Best genius idea I’ve seen yet 😳👍🏼
Thank you !
Anyway you can post all the links to exactly what you have I'm the description please? This would help out with transport a TON

@@nelsonfelixoutdoors6095 but everything else thanks man I appreciate it!
Yes it’s the Hobie scupper cart .
Brilliant idea! Q: Can you share the length of the bungees?
I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I’ll measure as soon as I get a chance
Just the bungees are 19 inches long. The total length with carabiners is 22 inches .

I use a similar system, well done!
Thank you !
Does this work on the Heavy Duty Hobie Cart
Yes !
Has this cart given you any issues about hull cracks in the scuppers? Great tut btw and thank you.

Nice, thanks for sharing.
What's length is bungee cut?

Nice 👍
