Hi Mary,

I’m interested in the pump. Where abouts are you located?

Cheers,

Vincent

[Mary Yee]

Items shown in pic; the pump is like new, the throw rope is used.   Kayak bilge pump $20.00; Rope $5.00. Anyone interested can reply to the posting.

Wrist gasket replacement went really well. Tool came out easily without sticking to the glue however wrap around using parchment paper as Vincent’s comment is a good idea.

Dollar store cutting board plastic with cardboard insert works well.

Thanks for everyone’s feedback.

The wheels will fit any kayak.  Feathercraft is/ was the manufacturer.

Yes, you can and you can find info on BCMT. Nick will have advice too. However George, Deb, Alix & I landed at Duke Point in Sept 2022. It was one of the most gruelling landing to get to the ferry. 4 of us with straps had to carry loaded kayaks over waist high logs. Then we got to a narrow trail. We used wheels but there were a number of sets of stairs we had to use straps and carry. Let alone the drop offs to the rocks below. Then you get to a parking lot. You can then pull your kayak up a hill for a km and then you get to the terminal. Then they open a narrow gate to go down a steep hill to get onto the ferry. I said WTF and will never do that again.

I see this question was asked before and it seems somewhat possible but I’d be interested to hear any thoughts, opinions or advice. I’d rather not take my car if possible but I feel I may need to. I’d be traveling alone.
Nick: I’ll contact you.

Thanks Kapila,

I would need help in some demontration.

Will this fit any kayak or specifically Feather craft?

Purchased these wheels about 15 years ago.  In relatively good condition.

[Colleen Cole]

Thanks for doing this Ted, I will be there too!

Hey Kapila,

Good to hear the repair is going well.

To avoid the plastic roll from sticking to the sleeve due to excess glue you can use parchment paper on the outside of the plastic roll.

An as an alternative to the cardboard cutout you can use a cylindrical piece of foam that’s somewhat larger than the sleeve. It will provide continuous outward pressure on your plastic roll.

Cheers,

Vincent

I’ll try to join too! Thank you for organizing Ted!

[Kapila Jayaweera]

This is great idea Ted. I can come and help you as well with whatever paddles needs to learn (Assuming I know what I am doing).

Also I can get some rolling practice as well at the same time.

See you all next Saturday at 9am.

Thanks for everyone’s response to my posting. I kind of follow Vincent’s method. I managed to get a plastic cutting board (flexibles one) from dollar store for $2.50. Managed to cut 2″ strips (use two strips to make it stronger) then cut a piece of cardboard with the same diameter fit into wrist gasket and insert. Did one wrist, waiting to dry out now. Everything went well.

Only complain is dealing with Aqua seal. Seems to stick to everything, not much pleasant. Has to do carefully without getting to everything. If you don’t want to deal with it, not a bad idea to let professionals deal with it.

Last year I have to replace my neck gasket, it was bit of work. I gave it to Coast Outdoor and they did a great job. Also their turnaround time was great. I managed to drop off and pick up in two days.
Also Skyview Outdoors repairing gaskets too.

Thanks all,
Kapila
