For Marine use, the coast guard requires that it be fastened down in case of a capsize. Is there an easy way to do that?

If it is fastened down how are you supposed to empty it? Mine isn't fastened down. We do have a homemade platform to boost the height. You could try bungie cord. That might be ok with CG.

We strapped it upside down to a tac vest but leg strap will work too. Paracord is great for that.

do not know, I have a little v-bottom crabbing boat. I hang it over the side and tighten it up, and it's good, for moving slowly. if you where going to get going I would take it off until I get to where I want to be then slow down and drop it in the carrier and pinpoint my fishing hole / spot.

I am sure this would tip over when the boat starts moving. You would be best served looking for another option. That's my opinion anyway. Good Luck!

I have not tried that, but Sentry makes a Marine version of Tuff Glide that would be a better choice . They claim that Navy Seals use it on their equipment

No it is not designed to be anchored down, but you could probably come up with something pretty easy. Thanks Flymotorsports

The post where the belt is attached to on the other side has no clip to anchor it and prevent it from slipping off. If I can find a cap to fit on the end of the post there should be no problem with the belt. One time I thought the belt was broken but it only slipped off the post.

I may can get to mine in the next couple of days, it's on the boat. for me, it's a pretty nice, secure cable. we use it to lock the boat to the dock anytime we're out of site of our boat. i'm sure if it's left unattented long enough, someone with big enough cable cutters could cut thru it, but I haven't seen anything stronger that would be practical to carry around and use easily.

Its made to mount in a vertical position. Very simple installation and it has a quick release if you want to take it out of the boat.

This is a type III device, BUT it must be worn at all times to qualify as an approved Coast Guard life vest. You can't just have it in the boat as with other flotation devices. Unless it is worn, it doesn't count.

We bought for our yacht to replace the one that was deteriorated by the sun. The are required by the Coast Guard for rescue. It is a flotation device for safety.

Hey Rich- what I'll do is rollover the canoe with the backend clear and simply set the carriage on the bottom upside down, then cinch it down, flip it over & ur ready to go. Its important to get the strap over something like a tie down or notch in the kayak so it doesn't slip off. I have mine balances well enough my kids can jump in it when I'm wheeling it to the beach. Happy canoeing!&#128513; Brad

I just used a ratchet strap ( three of them ) to hold them down. This works pretty good, but you need to be careful because they will rub together. This unit does a very good job transporting bikes or anything else you need. I have mine on the back of my camper and used it several times last year.

With a utility belt. I bought one from Amazon that seems to work pretty well. It's the same kind of thing the police use to hold all of their heavy equipment.

Twist (like you would a jar top) and turn it. It will go down and then secure it by turning it into place.

No, you have to roll it up and use a strap with velcro on it to secure it in the rolled up position.

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