Honestly, the easiest and best tutorial I've seen. I own a perception pescador myself. Awesome to know that this will work on my particular kayak. I want to be able to store it in the front hatch so I won't be gluing it all together. Hopefully it won't render it useless after awhile.
This is one of the best kayak cart videos out there as it is simple for anyone to do, and we actually get to see all the parts, AND get to see you putting it together. Other videos usually show it all assembled, and you have to guess as to how they put it together. great job!
Thanks so much! Glad you could benefit from the video! God bless.
guitta Dabe YES TO THAT!
Just a few comments: 1) Place wooden dowel sticks inside the PVC to strengthen them and 2) Drill out threads on nuts, before placing them inside the T-Fitting. They work very well as bearings for the all thread rod axle.
Great tip!!
Bought everything but the tires for about 17 dollars from homedepot. Would have been more but i already had the pvc glue, tape, drill bit and hacksaw. I then went to northern tool for the tires and i got soo lucky. When i went in, they were trying to get rid of a bunch of small pneumatic/cart tires and they were all 50% off sticker price (and sticker price was already allot lower than how much they normally would cost. Picked up 2 tires that look exactly like the beach tires that cost 100 dollars except in a different color for 6 bucks. Bought 2 other bigger tires that had big tracks and looked good for mud for 5 bucks. Then picked up this small wheel with spokes for 2 bucks. Was perfect. Spent about 14 bucks in total and couldn't resist buying 5 lol. they would have normally cost me about 100 bucks.
Nice!!! Best of luck with your build!
Best Instructional Video on the web for creating a DIY Kayak Cart! Your the best! Keep the Videos Coming! :)
I would love to have seen the rack on your kayak! Great job.
I was gonna make one of these but so many ppl say it will crack the scupper plug holes. It looks so convenient and easy to make. After researching I got more negative info then positive. Great set up tho. Just be aware.. my kayak is heavy plus gear so I can see where ppl say about the stress. Maybe lighter kayaks it would be better
You can take a punch and use it on the threads that will stop the nut from coming off. I use nail polish as loctite or you can use a dab of super glue in place of loctite. thanks for the video.
Great video man, gonna follow these guidelines myself and make one soon. May make a video too and credit yours!
I thank you in advance if you do! God bless.
Parabéns! Uma ideia construtiva é fixar arruelas entre porcas pelo meio do eixo. Isso ajudará na resistência dos furos dos caps nas extremidades. Very good! Tanks.
A well done job thank you very much for video. Have made 2 for my 4m kayak. 1 at the back and another up front with a steering pully
You don't need a lock nut, just add another nut and tighten it against the one you have...it will act as a lock
This looks like it will work. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the great video. Do you put the cart on your kayak when you go out into the water?
Made one per your directions and it turned out great! thanks!!
I'd love to see your diy being used
Amazing. You have broken this down so well. Thank you!
Can you show us how to use it with the kayak and how the front arms don't drag on the ground?
Under load, that threaded rod is going to chew up the those plastic wheels prematurely...add a metallic bushing material.
Thanks! your video was extremely helpful.
Nice job!
Hey, thanks!
Looks easy enough - except for one thing - you have to measure the *exact* distance between the centers of each scupper hole and cut your two "center bars" the exact length for a fit. I assume there was some trial and error?
You are correct on the trial and error. Hence my reluctance to give actual cut dimensions of the PVC. I start those two center struts by putting a 3-way T in each hole and then measuring the distance from one 90degree bend to another in the other hole. This leaves the piece very close, but usually a little long. But it's better to be long and cut twice than short and have to start over! God bless.

- Thanks! Same to you.
Hi, great video, thanks for posting. I've watched a few cart construction videos and like you, I'm planning to use a solid plastic wheel. How did you find the wheels performed running directly on the thread of the 'axle'? I'm concerned the wheels will get torn up with all that weight pushing the plastic against the thread. Did you use grease to help minimise the friction or is some sort of metal sleeve needed to sit between the wheel and axle to act as a bearing? Not sure if this was even an issue for you. I'm just trying think ahead and minimise the risk of problems. Thanks again.
I have been researching building this type of cart and wondering the very same thing!!!
I went with a pair of puncture proof wheels with plastic hubs. They had internal diameters of 20mm. I did some research in to bearings and found a set that have an external diameter of 19mm and an internal diameter of 10mm (two to each wheel). This will allow me to use a threaded rod of 10mm (M10).
I was planning to pack out the PU tube that houses the axel with expanding foam or extra nuts spaced along the threaded rod to help prevent too much flexing. I haven't made it yet, but hopefully with the bearings, there should be no issue with the wheels getting damaged. Unfortunately the cost of bearings pushes the build up by about ten pounds (but I get five for that). Hope that helps.
Good job! How much play is in the axle?
How do you strap this thing to the kayak? It also has no support forward or aft of the axle, so won't it just pivot on the bottom of the boat and start dragging the ground? I guess what I'm really saying is that a demonstration of its use would have been a good conclusion to the DIY video.
Broomfoot It's meant for sit on top kayaks with scupper holes. A sit in kayak cannot function on this design.
It won't pivot off the bottom like Broomfoot says, but one of the concerns that I've seen commonly with scupper carts is that the ruin the scupper holes. I think this comes from the fact that the little bit of play the pipes have in the scupper holes causes the cart to tilt and distort the shape of the holes. Have you seen that by any chance with your cart? Or is it a perfect fit? I'm contemplating making my own cart but that is a concern of mine, thinking about remedying it with a 4 wheeled cart that utilizes 4 scupper holes rather than two.
Thanks for making this video. Do the arms go all the way through the scupper holes or does the kayak just sort of rest on them? My scupper holes are much narrower in the top side of my kayak.
You're most welcome! Yes, they do for me. Once fully put together, they protrude about 5-6in. above the scupper plugs on the top side of the kayak. God bless.
Drilling the axle and inserting a split pin would be better than tape and bolt on the ends for the wheels
Thanks for the video...great job
A manual hydraulic trolley is the only type of warehouse equipment that allows you to manually move pallets (pallets) with a load exceeding the weight of the equipment itself. baltic-forklift.prom.ua/g5584703-roklyruchnye-telezhki
I have a Perception Pescador Pro 10’6” kayak and the weight of the kayak bent the threaded rod not sure if I used one that’s two small bit but it bent it.
Very nice. Will make one
So sorry noticed that you have drainage holes in your kayak but ours does not. Great video!
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, so sorry that this doesn't help with boaters that own solid-body kayaks. Hope you can Macgyver your own take on it so it works for you! God bless.
Tom Hallman Sit “oN” kayaks have scrapper holes. Sit “In” kayaks do not.
I have a few questions, please :) ...I'm transporting my kayak via bicycle. I've already have my DIY trailer made(thank you for the instruct), but right now I'm DIY'ing my own dumb stick. I was wondering if I should go with PVC or Aluminum? And if either-one, I was wondering about the specs. I figure it would require at least 33 inches of length for clearance, though I was wonder how big around would be appropriate for the dumb stick itself?
I would go metal, personally. Any kayak will probably apply too much weight and torque on a PVC stick. I would go to your local hardware store (and even check online) and see if there are weight ratings, or maximum PSI numbers the pipe supports. I don't know what a good number would be, but probably a 2-3" pipe maximum should do the trick. A cast pipe would be the strongest, but also significantly heavier than aluminum. Keep me updated!
I started brainstorming and used some 1 1/2" thick pine, though to get the clearance above the tire, I had to cut 3 additional short-pieces --stacking them, and then add the main piece on-top. The trick was angling the drill bit to get the same pitch the seat post is at. As for the size of the drill bit? ...I used a 1 1/4" because I remembered the post hole needed to be at least 1 1/8". Then I lined up all the pieces/holes and used 3" screws to bind them all together. 2 3" screws for each block. And the final touch was a bolt screw-eye on the back-bottom of the top-piece. As far as a trailer? ...I used a dollie. After hooking it up and giving it test drive? --it's a success :)
There are few things in this world more satisfying than DIY projects that actually work :) Congrats my friend!
you wrote that it's 3' of all thread... looks kind of small though lol
very well explained
Great instructional video... Thanks!!
Just found out that this type of cart will void the warranty on several models of kayaks... at least my Vibe it does. Love the design and disappointed that I can't use it.
To clarify, what I meant was do you store the cart on or in the kayak when you go out, or do you have to take it back to your vehicle?
Terri Hubble Yes! I simply put it through the scupper holes the opposite direction and paddle around with the wheels sticking up in the air behind me.
Thanks!
Where is the parts list you refer to as putting "into the description?" I just want an idea of how long you made each of your pipes. Thanks
I have a perception 12 also can you store this cart In the front hatch? I'm looking for something I can make that I can do that with.
I considered that but it's too awkwardly shaped to slip into the front hatch: the wheels stick out too far. Sorry! :/ You could probably finagle with dimensions and get it to work out though. Good luck!
Thanks I was just wondering maybe I can do some kind of pin system instead of gluing it to break it down quickly but I'll use this concept and see what I can manage
Yeah a pin system or wing nuts is what I'd definitely go for.
Alright thanks for the video man I appreciate it I'll comment here and let you know what or if I figure out a good way to do it
well broke down and built one.....except I used 1 inch schedule 40 pvc got it all done and the one thing I didn't measure was the scupper hole size...so I will be having to reduce the top pieces down to 3/4inch I guess lol just used what I had thought it would be a bit more sturdy but didn't think about the holes. it should work out fine after I reduce them well see in the next few days
If it's the month of June there in Pennsylvania, isn't it the month of June everywhere else in the world? Or am I missing something? ;)
Roger Chappell your missing something
What is the diameter of the pipe, my friend?

Average Jack Archery Thank's
True but how many countries using the metric system have put a man on the moon?
Those wheels would be fine for pavement! But not for sand, or pathways!
Three countries in the world still use feet and inches - Liberia, Myanmar and of course… the United States of America. Like the idea.

How much does your cart weigh?
I want to invert one and carry on my kayak when I'm fishing.
daddysealtx Jackson Just a couple pounds. Less than 5 for sure.
