RAILBLAZA Genuine C-Tug Kayak Cart Dolly - Puncture-Free Wheels Canoe Cart Trailer with 260 lb Load Capacity - Portable & Foldable Heavy-Duty Boat Dolly & Kayak Accessories

Ok, this is a great cart! First, the good: Easy to put together Material seems sturdy Easy to take apart Strap buckle system is great Kind of easy to store when on the water (see note below) There really isn't much "not so good", but rather stuff to keep in mind when you load your kayak. These items are easily fixed with a bit of practice, just keep them in mind when you load your kayak. My first and second attempt at loading the kayak on the cart almost made me return it but after watching a quick youtube video I realized the obvious mistake I was making and fixed it. The straps were a bit tricky to install- you just have to adjust them to tighten down the cart to the kayak. You really have to watch where you place the cart. I thought I had it in the right position towards the back of the kayak because that seemed like the most obvious place to do so but big mistake, it slipped off crashing my kayak to the ground even though the straps were secure. The second attempt the straps weren't tight enough- same result after I started pulling the kayak. On the third attempt I put the cart right behind the seat area, almost under the seat, and it worked but I found that having the kickstand face forward was a must and I had to really tighten down the straps which is very easy to do with the type of strap buckle it has. I walked my kayak a good 75 to 100 yards to the launch area which had a steep decline and the cart never slipped. This cart was easy to manuver and was easy to control. Overall a great cart, once you troubleshoot a bit and fine tune your method of loading the kayak to the cart, it is very easy. As for the straps, after you figure out the straps, they are very beneficial. In fact, after I loaded the kayak into my truck, I kept the cart assembled and used the straps to secure the cart to the bed of my truck so it wouldn't fall out. Here is a good tip for stowing the cart on the kayak while on the water, I have a sit on top that does not have any hull storage but does have a storage area behind the seat that has bungee attachments like a net. Initially I was going to just bungee the cart behind the seat area but instead bought the RUNCL 40L Waterproof Dry Bag ANCOHUMA and used that to store the cart. You just take off the wheels and the pads and the whole thing fits into the bag without a problem. I used the clips from the bag shoulder straps to string the bungee through to keep it completly secure. Not a single issue at all and the whole setup keeps everything safe and secure. Overall a great cart!

Let's face it, most of us kayakers end up hating our kayak tugs/ carts/trolleys. There's always that one thing it does that makes our hauling that much harder. I've gone through five different styles of tugs/trolleys and still hadn't found one I was happy with. Till I came across this beauty. The reviews and testimonials made it sound like a miracle product. I decided to give it a try, and have been very happy with it. First off, my kayak is extremely heavy for a kayak. I also kayak out on the ocean, often by myself. And I'm very safety conscious. So I have a TON of safety gear with me. In addition, I have mobility issues, so it all makes for a grueling experience getting my kayak from my truck to the water, and vice versa. Anything that makes it easier is a huge improvement. This tug/cart/trolley fit every bill. It worked great over dirt, sand, gravel, and asphalt. It's lightweight, but very strong. Easily carried the weight of my heavily-ladened boat. It also floats, and breaks down very quickly and easily (but won't fall apart under your boat). And is quick and easy to re-assemble. After a season on the ocean (including a month-long kayaking/camping trip up the Pacific Coast), I have no negative comments to make about this product and would gladly buy it again without a second thought.

Ok, I read many of the reviews of how great this was, and how easily the C-Tug hauled kayaks. I was immediately taken in by watching the videos on how well it worked, and how easy it looked to pull kayaks on all kinds of different terrain. Without seeing it on action with my own eyes, I bit the bullet and bought it. I anxiously waited for it to arrive, and quickly snapped it together to try out. I left the straps that came with it in the garage, and used the Yakima cinch strap that I use for my car. It worked well, and I was able to haul it to the lake easily. It handled stairs, a rooted section and sand well, and never made me worry about the kayak coming off. The C-Tug never moved down or slipped off the kayak on my 3/4 mile trek. Once at the lake, it disassembled easily and stored quickly in the front section of my Tarpon kayak. I went for a two hour cruise, and came back to shore and quickly assembled it back together and hauled it back to my car. I keep going back to "quick", because it is just that, quick and oh so easy to use. Mind you, this was all before I tried to assemble the C-Tug straps. I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever seen something so easy looking, actually be so complicated that it made me swear. After watching the videos on their website and a couple of others on YouTube, I felt prepared to tackle the straps. I tried once, and failed miserabley with the straps being backwards and the buckle being on the inside. I took it all apart, and watched the video again. Tried to assemble it again, and the same thing, all backwards. After a half dozen more tries and videos, it still didn't make any sense. After an hour, I put it down and let it sit overnight. I came back the next morning determined to figure it out, and after another 30 minutes of trying, finally figured out one side. I thought wow, this will be easy to duplicate on the other side.....wrong. It took a couple more tries to get the other side on. After that, the last buckle and latch are easy to assemble. I've used it now several times with the C-Tug straps, and am still happy with the overall product. Pros: -Stable to use -Handles a variety of terrains well -The wings are easy on the kayak bottom -Dissasembles quickly to stow in the kayak -Weighs very little Cons: -Strap assembly -Strap assembly, -Did I mention strap assembly? Overall this is a quality product, and I am looking forward to years of use. If I could make one suggestion to the makers of C-Tug, would be to drop the strap and just use a regular lashing strap. I think most people would find that easer to use, and a lot less complicated to assemble.

One of the best decision I ever made in buying this specific kit in my kayaking venture. I had everything else but couldn't face the hassle of the old wheels that slipped every time I was taking my kayak down to my close river. Now I can confidently leave without having to adjust it at all after going up/down pavements and crossing the road. I turned the plates on an inward facing position which can be done and this suited my hull best. So easy to set up and dismantle. And lightweight. Never have to manage or check deflating tires! Makes going off for my trip hassle free and definitely worth the extra money for the confidence and whole experience (I found the previous once so stressful) and now I can travel further to the better slipway🙌 . Excellent quality kit! You won't regret it! Delivery was quick also.. Only a couple of days and I was off🙃 Tips: I watched youtube channels for the webbing threading to buckle at the beginning which really helped. Also watched a couple of others for the actual assembling, but visual is my preferred choice of instructions for my Neuro brain. But the paper ones that come with it would be no problem….i used both! Hope this helps in your decision!

Ottimo per il mio kayak da pesca 👍👍

Lättmonterad och lätt att ta isär. Något knepigt att förstå hur instruktionen menar att remmarna skall dras.

J'en avais acheté avant un autre qui n'arêtait pas de se plier. Celui ci est facile à installer, ne bouge pas sur le kayak, m^me sur un terrain accidenté. A noter des roues qui passent partout, y compris sur un sol sablonneux. Je recommande. A faire attention quand vous le mettez sur le kayak en navigation que les roues soient bien clipsées; Top qualité

Recommend this kayak trolley for the sandy areas as it rides well over wet and dry sand. Not so good on the road or concrete as it makes a racket and the kayak vibrates, not great for my fibreglass boat.
