Need to move light 12 fishing boat d0wn 30 ft gravel driveway with 15-20 degree angle. Can I use brake on dolly to slow it down? I can pull up w car

With a load of this size the handle on the dolly will allow you to control speed. The brake is not progressive - it doesn't slow down it simply locks the gear driven chain mechanism. It should lock and hold your trailer fine for a short period while you pull up your car. I have a 16' boat and it works great. Going up a gravel driveway may be a challenge depending on how compacted your surface is. On a hard surface you can use the valet to climb an incline, but loose gravel can make that difficult.

Not that I'm aware about the height adjustment. As for the gravel driveway, I would not know how the wheels would work. Since it's over snow, I do not think it matters regardless of the machine type. I'm looking into a Snow Joe SJ620 in addition to my Toro electric.

Yes...thin layer of gravel will be just fine, but to loose gravel and weight in wagon will find it hard to pull...if used on sand its not recommended too hard to pull

I have a 12 ft aluminum jon and with fishing gear a loaded down cooler and two people. I did a gps on the speed on a calm day and glass water it maxed out for me at 8 mph. Still faster than the electric trolling motor i was using.

As long as you "pull" behind you and not push in front it should be ok...same at the beach....this cart performs better pulling rather than pushing.

You can short the leads but that won't stop it completly . it will still turn in high wind but the brake will be applied.

My guess is that it would work, but that there might be a strong tendency for it to tip sideways on any kind of uneven terrain. I'd recommend something with a wider wheelbase if you want to truck a 48 in boat over uneven terrain.

I use it on a combination of pavement and dirt/pine needles/grass. You need more muscle in the dirt but the tires are plenty big enough and easy to manuver. I would expect it to work in grass just fine. Be prepared to use more strength though. My boat is 3500 lbs as a reference. 20 ft open bow fiberglass.

I think it would work fine. I'm assuming you are saying you want to pull the boat a short distance to a dock or another boat. It's stronger than the aluminum extension poles sold by fishing supply and outdoor stores.

This post seems to offer a method by which you can go lower than 20 ft-lbs.http://www.amazon.com/No-information-for-this-product/forum/Fx2PK59HIQNWL2O/TxBMHAUEFH78ZR/1/ref=cm_cd_et_md_pl?_encoding=UTF8&cdMsgNo;=4&asin;=B0028081GK&cdSort;=oldest&cdMsgID;=MxM49PS8757LY4#MxM49PS8757LY4

It really depends on your towing need. I used this on my 35 foot motor home to tow my Miata. At 6000lbs it was more than enough. It is a 6 inch drop which left me 11 inches to the center of the lower square or about 10 inches off the ground. I found it's best to remove it when I'm not towing because of the amount of overhang behind the axle, it will drag at times. For trailer towing, when I need a ball, I use an adjustable height hitch. They are much cheaper but the inexpensive ones (Harbor Freight) don't have the capacity to tow a car but work with my boat or utility trailer.

It all depends on a couple different things, the.height of your tires, if you have a lift.kit, everyone's height will be different. As for mine, I have a 2002 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 with ITP Tires and Rims, with mud.and.snow tires which are 28", I can lift my bucket up 42" that's the top of the bucket with around 350lbs of top soil in it, now to dump it in a cart, the top wall of the cart can not be taller then 26 inches for the bucket to dump everything. Think the other people said 9 inches, I think they are saying the avg height of the mounting plate holes are to be around 9 to 11 INCHES of the ground. Now you can add some extra supports and make the mounting bracket longer on the front to even lift higher, or move where you hook your cable up to and you could get.a couple inches higher to. I been using mine now for about two weeks, about.20 hours moving top soil , pea gravel and.road.gravel and so far no problems at all. I also was able to level areas of my driveway, and where I am putting the top soil. Best thing I ever.got ! Can't wait till it snows ! Hope this helps.you out ?

You need to get a goose-neck adapter for it, but she should pull a 30 foot trailer with its whole .1HP

Towing is a little tricky, but it would mount vertically on edge behind a camper. As for fishing, there is not much ability to stand up and move around with tackle, etc, but there is a cooler area in which to store the catch.

You can, but you won't be able to secure it to the ground. It is huge...way wider than the average driveway.

I pull a double axle pleasure boat that weights about 6,000 pounds boat and trailer. I purchased the tenkonsha primus IQ box and have nothing bad to say about it. It gets the job done great for me

No, it is too light of a rod. Offshore trolling requires a rod with more backbone. Need a heavy action, possibly down rigger style.
