I just purchased a Trax 2-30 cart to share between our 2 Compass's. It's hard to describe the perceived issue here but it doesn't fit solid and straight into the scupper holes. It touches one side and never quite settles where one would think. I'm gonna try to post a picture and maybe somebody can advise me if this is normal, or there's an issue. Because it looks like if I use it like this is may cause damage to the scupper holes. Thanks.

This is very normal....you have a SS precise dimensional cart and a roto molded hull that is subject to shrinkage and expansion. The hull has heavy plastic inserts in the scupper holes to protect it from damage......just use it and don't worry.

But ya gotta admit, it looks wonky and wrong. |

Another thought to ease your concern is cut a 1-1.5" length of pool noodle and slip it over the Trax cart rods. This will cushion the hard plastic stops to the hull. |

Added 1.5" of pool noodle. Looks better and makes me less concerned. Thanks for that suggestion. Anyone else with first hand experience care to chime in? |
