Kayak Cart modification
A few years ago I bought a paddlelogic trailtrekker kayak cart which was fine for my old kayak that was 32" wide. My new Jackson kayak is 37" at the widest but pretty much maintains a wide stance to the stern. My $169.00 kayak cart no longer worked. I contacted the company and asked if they would sell me a longer axle. They said they could for $40. Instead, I went to Home Depot and bought a 36'x1/2" zinc round rod for $6.78 and 2 hitch pins for $.56 each. I drilled a hole on each end for the hitch pin and had some scrap 3/4" pvc to make 2 3" spacers and extended the axle myself. Works like a charm!
