- If you have a Hobie kayak, you definitely want a cart for easy transportation. There are several carts available for Hobie kayaks and in this video I break down what the best carts are and how to pick a cart based on your situation.

I have a Sea tug and used it for the first recently. Works great, but takes a little trial and error to find the sweet spot for the kayak to attach it too. Also takes a little practice to lower your kayak onto without making it tip over, or twist to one side or the other.
Just ordered the heavy duty cart from your shop to support videos like this even though I'm on the east coast. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the support!!!
Great video. Very well explained.
Glad it was helpful!
I just bought PA 14 can’t wait to get it thanks
You’re gonna love it!
This was super helpful. Thank you. I have a C-tug but a challenge has been that since yaks get progressively more narrow in width, the straps slide loose when pulling the kayak over any terrain that isn't super smooth. Any easy solutions for this other than attaching some kind of rail mount behind the straps to stop the sliding?
if you have the pro angler, put the straps between the hull and H-rails and that should keep it in place. Maybe someone else will chime in on here with some ideas too?
Will the sea tug fit on board a Passport 10.5? Is there a way to make stow it using the scupper holes? TIA.
Hi Tony, it can fit behind the seat but I don’t think it will fit inside even with disassembling it. The scuppers really are only helpful for the Hobie specific carts.
I have a 2017 Hobie PA 12 and the front scupper holes are a different distance apart. Does Hobie make wheels that will fit the front scupper holes?
The scuppers in front of the seat should be the same distance behind the seat. If for some reason that doesn't work, you'll have to use the C-Tug
When i put the heavy-duty cart upside down to go fish, there is about 4" of the tubes sticking below my hull. Any idea how I can keep this from happening??
There was an allen wrench provided with the cart. This is to adjust the black plastic stoppers. You can loosen the bolt with the wrench and slide the pieces up a few inches and then retighten
Is it safe to use the carts in the scupper holes?
Yes, they are designed for use in the scupper holes. But, do not store the kayak on the cart. Extended time on the cart will put too much strain on the scuppers over time.
What would happen if I flipped while fishing in the ocean and had the cart in the kayak? Would it float?
Yes the Hobie carts would float. But I’m
Hoping you never flip!
Have you tried the "Wilderness Systems Heavy Duty Kayak Cart"?
I haven't. Functionally it is very similar to the C-Tug
@@Gigharborflyshop Unfortunately for where I live I absolutely need sand tires, and since the C-Tug doesn't have that option it doesn't work for me. I´ll have to keep looking...
Tight lines!
don't get a C-tug if you have a Slayer 10, as I did...
Please tell me more. The hull design doesn’t sit right on the cart?
