I got my C-Tug R conversion kit today and a new kick stand. After watching several videos whose method simply would not work for separating the cart, I came across this one and Tommy’s method worked like a charm!! Thanks man!!
I'm glad to help. Railblaza just came out with a new cart that fits pontoon type hulls like Hobies. I might get the conversion kit. Here's a link to the new cart amzn.to/3HjsErE.
I honestly think detaching the main 'scissor' mechanism, say for thorough cleaning and storage, the hardest; and most frustrating part. Watching others, they make it look so easy!
I agree. It sometimes works when you press the cross section on your knee or on the side of your kayak. It doesn't all the time. I use this mostly for my canoe. I end up just keeping it together most times. If I find a better way, I'll make another video about it.
You are very welcome. Thanks for the kinds words. I'm glad you found this video helpful. Let me know if there are any other types of videos you would like to see. Thanks for watching.
Just got the West Marine version of this cart. It was on sale for $111.99 with free shipping. Difference is the pads are blue, not green and the straps are plain, no logo. Also the plastic is not glossy, seems less cheap. It game with zero instructions so thank you for the video.
Oh sweet pickles, for the love of all things fermented, just make sure your axles are pointed away from each other and put the wheels on before the pads.
Nitpick: at 6:35, you put the wheel on inside-out, although it doesn't seem to make any difference to the operation of the cart (I did the same thing, first time I assembled mine).
Nice catch. I only used these wheels a few times. I use the Sandtrax wheels most of the time. Now I only use the cart for my canoe. Thanks for watching.
I have the earlier version with inflatable wheels. I like the thing but find the single strap tends to slip down the contour of the hull Unless I put the cart at the widest part of the boat.
After using it for a few months, I have to do the same thing. There is a mod that helps it stay more snug on the Outback. I'll have a video on that coming soon.

Press your knee into the center of the x it comes apart easy and your not hurting your hand. Nice video.
Thanks for the heads up. I will try that the next time I use them. They work great. Thanks for watching.
C-Tug has a video showing this method.

I love my C-Tug Cart....best investment for a big heavy kayak
I'm pretty happy with it so far. It works well on my kayaks and my new project canoe. It's great if you have multiple vessel to use it on.
I like the fact that it breaks down into small pieces but I'm still skeptical of the plastic. I like to see how it works out for you in the long term.
You gave the best demo!! You gave great verbal instructions to go with your step by step demo. Thank you.

Glad you made this vid my package came with no instructions, wasn't able to see where the two main pieces snapped together. Thanks so much
I'm glad it helped. It's pretty easy to assemble once you've done it a few times. Thanks for watching.

I didn't even know west marine made one. I'm glad to help. Thanks for watching.
It was a slow day for snakehead Saturday. We did get a tip on a spot that was producing after we we ready to head home , lucky us
It was a nice day to be out. I didn't get a chance to get back out there. Was it pretty busy over there? I hope to get back at em soon.
TomyTek Outdoors there are lots of fishermen in Blackwater it was windy so no boat traffic. My cousin got a few and so did a friend,
Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome. Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
Great Video for anyone having to disassemble and reassemble CTug cart. Would have never figured out how to separate main Assy. part. Thanks
Thank you. I'm glad it helped out. Another viewer mentioned pressing your knee against the X and it comes a part easier.

Good info man. It's good to be back
Thank you. Great to see you back brother!

So I hit it to disassemble. I just get a sore hand. Now what?
