Hey Im having trouble finding the post where you explain the harness system you use. Its really hard on my gimp knee when I drag the yak . I figure if I spread the weight around more it will make things better. I had your number in my old phone and for some reason it didnt transfer over to my current one.
thanks

I took the shoulder harness off one of my old golf bags. I run it through the front handle and drag it with my shoulders. I don't think it will take pressure off your knee, it was more to alleviate the wear and tear on my hands and arms.

Gotcha thanks
Ill try it out i hope it will at least spread the weight better we will see.
What size wheels do you use? Got some huge ones ima try to make a cart from.

My wheels are upgraded I think to 24 or 28? Big wheels make a huge difference dragging that bitch across the sand.

Lol mine are only 24 but should help alot if i ever get the cart built

Oscar, mollie back harness will work also. Get one with a belt on it. Probably find one at the army surplus store.

I think this is the only video I have showing the harness.

I'm new to yak fishing & that haul across the beach is the only downside I've found thus far. Don't mind so much going out but can be a real bear when I'm going home sometimes.

I have one of those cheapie carts and wondering where along the length of the kayak most like to center their carts for ease of transport across the sand? More to the middle balance point of the yak or more to the rear? I've been experimenting a bit & trying to figure out what works best. (or does it even make any difference when it comes to dragging those little wheels through the sand?)

I have tried moving the cart around and it didn't make much difference. Seems best spot is just behind center of the yak. That's with a PA that can reach 200lbs with a cooler loaded with fish.

Ox, the wheels will make a huge difference once you modify a cart for it. I tested mine out the other day and the wheels are half your size and it made a huge difference from the trax 2 cart. Have a welder weld up a cart resembling the trax 2 so you can use the scupper holes. That's my plan when I get to it.

Yeah I think ginzu did something similar
