I agree with everything Ron said. But a simple fix for the uprights I put some rubber caps on to keep from cutting my kayaks while loading and unloading it only cost a few bucks and they work great. Good luck

The U-shaped bracket that would be supporting the boat is painted square tubular steel. It expands to a little more than 48". The clips that hold the bracket at the selected width can be positioned beneath the horizontal lower arm of the bracket so that they would not come in contact with your boat. You could easily wrap the bracket with carpet, foam padding or whatever for protection but I don't think it would be necessary as the ends of the tubular steel on my bed extender don't have any burs or sharp edges. In my opinion the bed extender should work fine with an inflatable boat without any additional protection. The U-shaped bracket that would be supporting the boat is painted square tubular steel.

I use mine for my canoe, but I do pad parts so it's not metal on metal. You might need to do the same.

Yes... that's exactly what you need. I would fill it with the green slime and then install. That'll make it puncture proof...

Hi Cy,Yes, the tires can be punctured as they are pneumatic with a psi of about 8 iirc. In the event one does puncture, it pretty easy to plug the hole with the materials included with the cart. When we use ours, we have about a 1/2 mile trek to the beach as well and so far no problems. It pulls very easily across the sand with a load of stuff in it.

No - and my kids ride ride on cracked sidewalks and through rocky areas and everything. These aren't traditional tires; you don't need to put air in them. So, I don't think you'd have to worry about tire punctures.

I have bought the double tube for years and they last a whole season floating down a river. Try to stay away from trees and they can still be punctured. But i love this tube and won't use any other. Last year there was a recall on them as the seams were busting. I had to return 3 of them, but they seemed to fix the problem (didn't mean for that to be a pun ;) )

I would not expect the repair to last. Your boat probably flexes at the point of the crack and this otherwise excellent epoxy probably would not hold as it would flex at a different rate. You really need something like Bondo fiberglass repair with a fiberglass cloth patch, in my opinion.

I used it on the bottom of a aluminum boat and it worked fine..you must sand and prep first. If your usingit for a big crack use a thicker marine epoxy first then sand then apply its kindof a thin liquid but its strong and dries flexible. It was ill definatly seal leaking rivets and is easy to use..

No, as far as I can recall, the clear plastic over the round part at the bottom should self puncture when it's installed. On my machine, that is on the bottom.

It is safe and it will not hurt the compressor. But this is a very strong magnet so watch your fingers.

It is an inflatable, so your not going to be able to ram a jagged rock at high speed and expect not to have a problem. Having said that, I have taken mine down a shallow river in E. Tennessee where I was rubbing smooth rocks virtually the entire 2 hour trip. At some points I even got high centered (due to the shallows) on top of a rock and had to sort of scoot off of it. This caused me no problem, as the rocks were smooth. I have also had a tree limb jab the top portion and managed not to puncture it. Generally, I would say that it is as good as you could reasonable expect from an inflatable.

no.. it is one. you dont have to worry about a puncture. you would have to ram it into something pretty sharp. i have left mine out in the sun all summer. they are tough as nails. however my girlfriend thought it would be a good idea to tie them to the shoreline.. All day it rubbed against the rocks with waves. it eventually rubbed a small hole in it. we patched it up with the kit it comes with. If a hole did happen, i think it would be small enough to get home and patch it up. this is by far the best paddle board out there. 14' is to big though. go for an 11 or 12'

The beach will be completely safe. If you use it in the water, fresh or salt, keep the controls above the water. I would recommend rinsing the coil and shaft with fresh clean water after use in salt water. Good hunting.

I have a 15 foot all welded aluminum boat which is quite heavy. My MK Endura Max 55 pushes it with no problem at a fairly decent rate of speed. We also have weeds in our lakes and deals with that issue quite well by occasionally cleaning the prop. I don't expect you will have anything to worry about in your situation as it has a variable speed control.

I put this on an aluminum Jon boat. I was never worried about electrocution however moist air and water all around can lead to battery corrosion. With paddle splash and all others things that can happen on a boat I would cover it. You will also want to ad a fuse so if the battery shorts it doesn't ruin your fish finder .

i had no problem with this prouduct . i used it on my boat and it worked fine . try it on something else and if you get the same result mabey you received a bad can.

Yes, it work great - hold tight and I use it on my boat and in rough weather it hold good.
