Where do you guys store your kayak carts when OTW.  I've got a Prowler 15 and have just been tossing it in the back tank well and tying it down.  Anybody have pictures or better ideas,  its a bit hard to stow in the front hatch.
 Thanks!

I either hide it on the beach or cable lock it to something on the beach like a post.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains, where the spirits go...........

I have a P15 and store mine in the front hatch. Although I don't have these tires on anymore, the replacement balloon tires fit even better. See photo's

I take mine with me but it is scupper hole model.  The up rights are just long enough to be supported by keel and hopefully not damage the scuppers.  I do the same with my OKs.  I only use these carts on hard surfaces with no obstructions.

Good luck
Doug

I 'lost' a pair of wheels that were stashed on a beach where I thought they wouldn't be seen.  If you leave them behind lock them to something, if possible.

My wheele-eze are like gold to me-never would I leave them unsecured on a beach.

I have a standard roll-eze cart with the small all-terrain tires-this one I can stash in the front hatch when I remove the wheels. Wheels go in the yak bow, cart gets folded & put in behind them.

I also have a cart with the full size balloon tires. That one I remove the wheels, stash them in the front hatch, then I fold the cart & secure it along the right side of the tankwell (since my MO is to bring fish up on the left side of the yak).

I do the hide or lock to a post too.
Sorry to hear yours got 'lost'. That's when something like this would come in so handy!

Or better yet score some WAF and bring the wife along. She can layout in the sun and keep an eye on the cart.

Currently, I made a cart out of PVC (white sch 40) small enough to fit in the rear well of my Mini-X. It works fine and does not effect balance too much, but it does take up all of the well storage area and being PVC creaks and groans on any kind of unven surface.. I always wanted that space for a milk crate and currently am modifying a large crate that I have to accept a removable axle/wheels and a couple of removable bunks so that the crate will double as a cart frame when heading to from the shore. Those crates are pretty strong so I am hoping this will get rid of the rickety nature of my current cart.

I've had two PVC carts completely self destruct at the worst possible times. Watch going up or down curbs and cold weather. You may want to upgrade your cart.

Depending how far form the vechile and what type of fishing I'm doing,  I either return it to the car, or I put it in the tank well over the crate.  Mine is one inch Sch40 Pvc  For a trident 15.
The more the merrier.

I and my dog need a fishing trip rery soon.
