I want to use the foot brace to steer my hobie outback kayak but need to remove the locking device. How do I do it? I,m using a trolling motor setup

It appears to be held in place with a metal retaining clip. I don't see any way to remove it completely, but cutting it off with hacksaw would work. There is a bit of sliding friction, I'm not sure if this would be a problem or not for you.

This trailer lock requires that a trailer must be disconnected from the towing vehicle in order to function. As an alternative, your trailer almost certainly has the safety chains that are used to attach to the towing vehicle when your trailer is attached. Use a separate padlock with a hasp too large to be cut with a pair of bolt cutters to connect a safety chain to the towing vehicle. Hope this helps.From: charlesneely@mygrande.net

We locked ours with a small padlock through the hole in the post that goes though cent of wheel. It prevents the bar from turning.

Hi GMan, The release is pretty well concealed. It is located near the top of the outermost pair of legs that carries the "height setting dial" at the center pivot. At the top of that leg (just under the cross bar that supports one of end of the keyboard), you will see a slot on the outboard side of the leg. [Note: This is the only leg that has that slot.] Protruding from that slot is a spring loaded short rod or peg with a rubber cover. If you squeeze that rod upwards towards the keyboard resting bar, the rod will slide up in its slot and release the detent on the height setting dial. To prevent disaster, you will probably want to set the height without the keyboard sitting on the stand. I hope you enjoy your stand.

Not really locked, it's more of a detent. It works well either angled or straight.

unfortunately not. I just tried mine out and there is no locking mechanism available without modification.

You must temporarily remove the nut from the left side of the rear axle and then slide on a figure 8 shaped part. Replace the nut, tighten and you are ready to go. This part stays on the bike and a flexible piece on the trailer tongue slips into it and is held in place by a pin with a small locking arm attached. Works fine as long as the kickstand on your bike is in the "normal" place (near the pedals) where it can not interfer with the trailer when it is in the up position.

If you look on the left side of the presser foot bar, near the bottom, there is a screw - you remove it, take off any existing feet or snap-on shank, and then put this one on in its place. In the picture, there is a rectangular opening in the middle - that is where it slides onto the presser foot bar, and there is an opening on the left side for the screw.

Mine came ready to go. It slides into a rod holder on Hobie Kayaks. It also has a bungee-leash attached to it.

Hi Diane,Thank you for your note. The feet are secure on your HurryCane Freedom Edition cane. Altough we do recommend periodically checking the feet to ensure security, we do not recommend securing the feet with locktite, as the feet are made to be replaced. Like the tires of a car, the feet on the cane will wear down. You'll then be able to replace the feet, instead of the entire HurryCane. Please let me know if you have further questions. Thanks,Courtney

I own one of these. There are two bearings within this jib pivoting points.. bolts, screws bearings (two) and a screw. There is a piece of metal between the pivoting point. (Like a slice of pie) to be able to lock the jib into whatever position you want. Hopefully this answers the question?

Yakima makes a lock that attaches to the end of the bolt after its been placed through the rack and hitch. Once you tighten the bolt and add the clip, you simply place the lock on the end of the bolt and lock it with a key. Someone would then have to break off the lock in order to unscrew the bolt and take your rack. Pay close attention when putting on the lock because it will seem like its on and locked when it isn't exactly in the proper position. After putting on the lock and removing the key, I usually give it a few good pulls to make sure the locking mechanism is engaged properly.

Sorry,but you need a mount of some kind. If you're at all handy,you can make one. I made them for my kayaks but they all mountbehind the cockpits. Blow up a pic of one and copy it. .....Bill

There is a big carrying handle on the front that you could loop a cable-type bike lock through, if you had a post or tree close enough. The other option is to simply deflate it and take it with you. We have a rolling duffle bag that the kayak, pump and paddles all fit in, and we've occasionally bungeed the duffle to the back storage compartment so that we could take a one-way trip downstream and then take the kayak back with us on a bus.

It's not easy if you have a high vehicle. First, I use ratcheting straps, not those that came with the set. I suggest a ladder on a firm surface. I typically hook one end to the outside of the j-rack, toss it over the kayak, loop under the crossbar, back over the kayak and hook again to the front of the j-rack. Then I tighten with the ratchet. It's pretty secure.

Try turning the set screw to the left. It may be a left-hand thread. Otherwise spray it screw with a small amount of WD40 or similar lubricant. You should be able to reposition the foot without a wrench. Check the accompaning document and/or call HUGO

I would stay away. I ordered two. Use on ~50lb Ocean Kayaks. One of them is broken beyond repair. I will be getting another brand/model.
