...having to 'turtle' the yak on the boat ramp to get the cart into the scuppers is as frustrating as getting skunked. I've got the muscle, its just clumsy and awkward.
There is no need to flip your boat in order to install the wheels. Simply lift one side and brace it against your thigh while you insert the cart:
Different cart, different boat, same procedure:
It just takes a little practice. If you have high flotation wheels it might be easier to pop the far wheel off while inserting and install it after the cart is in place as Bob mentioned. It works well on the PA -- just remember to secure your gear before you tilt the boat!

It seems that there should be a pair of 'false' scuppers at the far rear of the yak just to function as a cart mount. It could also be used to keep them far back and out of the way, but more secure than just dropping them in through the handle. How has this design failed to be improved over years of PA sales?
There are 3 great places to store your cart on the boat.
1. cargo well:
2. on the foredeck:
3. in the front hatch:
If all these spaces are committed, you might try sliding the cart legs under the rear cargo bungees and let the wheels rest on the stern. There's always a way.
