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.

[Kevin Amos]

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
