Hi,

what's the consensus these days, what's the best cart for 2017 Outback? I sold my wheelez, and my new (to me) Outback does not like my other cart.

I kind of expect "beach wheelez all the way" , but maybe there is something new?

Also, I saw some of new carts with different types of wheels - not balloon - claiming they work on sand. Any 1st-hand experience? I expect it to mostly used on an asphalt / hard surface, but might occasionally need to move on a sand.

Thanks!
Seb

Anybody knows what these are for? Can I use them to mount something?

P.S. Kayak in picture is not mine.

Hi,

I've been using both, understanding that both have their place - Uni is little bit stronger (there are bunch of videos comparing them), and Palomar is somewhat easier to tie. Frankly, I liked Uni more, and it anyways it seemed to be a way to go to tie a larger piece - flasher, lure or weight.

Then I've kind of started suspect that what I tied with Uni breaks more frequently, and I did some testing. Then I got worried and did even more testing with all mono lines I have.

Results, while not scientific by any means, were consistent and surprising. Uni consistently underperforms Palomar, on all 6 different mono lines (20-40 lbs) I tried - almost always breaks first, usually - just above the knot.

Now, this could be b/c of my hands or ability to comprehend all those knot videos I watched, or lines, or stars - but I still thought I'd share these fascinating results.

Hi, looking for a group wisdom.

I have Elite 5 CHIRP, which still works OK, but will probably die soon (I already had to remove SD card due to the infamous problem). Anyways, might be a time to prepare for upgrade, and I read that new software is better

Has anybody upgraded recently, any major improvements?

Also, I understand that Elite Ti/Elite Ti 2 with touchscreen is not the best idea for kayak (my Tandem Island can be a very wet ride) - is it so? Any major benefits to still consider it over Hook line?

Thanks,

Hey,

I'm in a contact with Hobie for TI fix - warranty has expired, bur it seems that part (centerboard) might be defective and they appear to be willing to "extend warranty". They ask me to work through the dealer though.

I bought kayak used (which came from San Diego), so no dealer relationship (I bought bunch of stuff from CCK, but not this TI).  Any suggestions who to contact? CCK in RWC is closest to me.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi, which glue do you use to mount battery inside hull?

P.S. Battery will be in a sealed box, and I will be using HD foam as a base.

FWIW, on my AI and TI I used to use Hobie's 8" bucket in the rear hatch, which worked fine for many years in '11 AI, but is quickly falling apart using '15 TI's bucket, after less than a year of usage. (Don't know if it's different bucket plastic, or b/c I'm using/transporting it differently.)

It's this one : https://www.amazon.com/attwood-5014-4-Kayak-Rod-Holder/dp/B00JGQL6QQ/ref=sr_1_10?crid=1P5GRIIEIYVQL&keywords=attwood+rod+holders&qid=1563072373&s=gateway&sprefix=attwood+rod%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-10

Like new, but no package. I've bought it 4 years ago, but never installed. I have a mix of Scotty and Railblaza gear, so installing different kind does not make much sense.

Would consider trade for scotty mount / rod holder or 1.5" RAM rod holder (+/- $$) . Or something else
