General Talk / Help - weird Boonedox install on WS Radar 135!
« on: May 27, 2018, 08:58:38 PM »
I just got my new (to me) yak - Wilderness Systems Radar 135 pedal drive and it comes with a boonedox landing gear but not installed.
At the back of the seat, i see two grey looking patch which i assume is someone's attempt at installing the boonedox? The boonedox did NOT come with the backing plates i see on youtube so i'm guessing someone couldn't figure out how to put the backing plate UNDER the yak, so they decided to epoxy(?) it on top hoping it will give it strength?
- Any guesses folks? Has anyone seen it done this way before?
- Should i mount the boonedox on this epoxy? is it strong enough? or i really need something UNDER the yak? The current grey stuff is not flush, surely i need to somehow grind it flush to install the boonedox?
- If under, i could order another set of backing plates mount it with 2 plates (above and below yak)? leaving the current epoxy one in place? overkill?
- Or should i somehow remove the current epoxy and recover the plate? would that damage the yak?
- Or should i just install the boonedox further back of the yak (e.g. after the cart) and leave this mess alone?
Any thoughts/suggestions welcomed!!! many thanks in advanced!
How should i make sure i have enough space for the boonedox and my cart? it seems a bit short with these big SAND wheels
