| Post subject: | C-Tug for an Outback? |
I am seriously thinking about buying a C-Tug to use with my 2013 Outback. However, I read a review on ACK that the C-Tug did work at all with the Outback, that the pads don't sit flush on the hull. I am wondering if the reviewer was suffering from "operator error"? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks! |

I had a 2010 Outback and ditched the Hobie cart in favor of the C-tug as it was a PITA to turn the Outback on the side to insert the cart. I found the best location for the C-tug was under the front part/location, of the seat and I ran the straps between the side carrying handles located alongside/inside the hull. Unless C-tug has improved the original strap-buckle design, I replaced the factory straps with a 1 1/2" wide NRS tie down strap.....it has a cam locking mechanism that is bullet proof and will not slip. See http://www.kayakshed.com/nrs/1-5-wide-straps The C-tug held my Outback and was well balanced......just open up the pads as wide as they will go....place the cart next to the Outback and lift/lay the Outback on to the C-tug.....align and insert straps under the inside cockpit carrying handles, pull to tighten the straps....ready to go. |

Thanks for the feedback. There is an "aftermarket" kit to convert the C-Tug to use Wheeleez. I believe when broken down, the whole thing will fit inside the front hatch of the Outback. Now that I know the C-Tug will work, I may make the investment. https://youtu.be/G_KSpHPjPAo |
