I purchased a radsportz kayak hoist which appears to be a sturdy, high quality product. The instructions say to position the two pullies no less than 6 feet 8 inches apart, but I need the hoist for a short kayak (less than ten feet long) in a small garage, and would prefer to place the pullies closer together than 6 feet 8 inches. Can I do this? If so, how much less? What will be the consequence? Look forward to hearing from you.

The motors aren't really serviceable, they need to be replaced. Can you give a little more detail about what the problem is that you're having with the lift?

I don't know that model, but I am sure it is for draining. You only add water if you want to sink!!!!!!!!!

Try this: it means that you use the rope to make two connection points.

Brand new boat? Let them replace it, it's a manufacturing defect! The bulkhead probably was slightly too large or the sealant was poorly applied, either way you don't want the headache yourself. Wilderness systems and their dealers tend to be VERY reasonable with this type of problem.

If it were an older boat or one you had used extensively, I would recommend removing the old sealant and then laying down thick beads of a high quality silicone sealant such as Lexel on both sides of the bulkhead.

Use the threaded tip for the two main chambers, but be sure to turn the inside part of these valves clockwise to put them in the inflate position -- just press your finger on the valve and turn (the instructions aren't very clear on this). To deflate, push the valves in and turn counterclockwise.

For the orange twist valves use the tip that fits over them -- there is only one that fits snugly over them. Don't forget to open the valves (turn counterclockwise) before inflating and then close them (clockwise) before removing the tip. Just turn then cc to deflate when you're ready to put the kayak away.

I was able to inflate the Skedaddle 2 in less than 7 minutes on my second try, and I wasn't rushing at all. It's really pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Tunturi unit have been always a reliable unit and they do not have very many problems. I like and sell the Sports Art products for five years and they are reliable and sturdy units, at one time they were manufacturing for Tunturi and other highly visible companies in their 30 plus years in the industry.The only worry is, do you have a reliable service company that will take care of you if whatever product you choose to purchase. I know as a servicer I rely on my vendors to give me great service so I intern give great service to my customers.

I have none so will someone help me?;/

what is the canoe made of... it may not look pretty but fiberglass will work.... you can sand and paint it later as well

Any pulley system has an rating to lift your two rigs check into west marine or homedepot for pulleys, there really isnt one that is the best, unless you need one for a high dollar boat
