In the study they were testing a carbon fiber tube made of 2x2 twill weave with 4 wraps on it. 2x2 twill weave is never used for structural applications, rather it is used for visual appeal. Thanks for posting the link, very informative. It would be interesting to see the same test done with a...
LOL...carbon fiber has a higher strength to weight ratio. That's why racing sailboats have carbon fiber masts and not aluminum. RRP made the pole out of aluminum because it was cheaper so they can make a profit. Not because they would be heavier than aluminum.
I am defiantly going to see this project to the end. I still have to take it around to some fab shops. Its on the list of things to do. I might try and sell some to watercraft superstore. I will also have mine at the free-ride for people to demo. I might have 1 or 2 made up to sell. I...
I have been using the cart for about 6 months and have only scraped once pulling out of a very steep parking lot. The ground clearance is an inherent problem with this design. I have contemplated making the axle section removable but I believe it will take away from the structural integrity. If...
I'll try to find someone in the area with a lifted truck that I can do some fitting on. Larger tires would help but I might have to add a drop to the rack with the truck lifted so much. How high off the ground is your trailer hitch?
This is the loading and unloading process for the 3 in 1 Stand, Dolly, Trailer/Rack . For time sake I did not put the last fastener in. It is a lock for securing the cart and I also did not put the cotter pins in the tapered pins. Just a video to show the concept. For reference my trailer...
This is what I am using for a tow rope. A ski buddy of mine that was a rock climber showed it to me. It's called a daisy chain. It has loops sewn inline and allows for many connection options. I wrap it around my waist and throw my life jacket over it. Works great and does not get in the way. It...
I will put a video up in the next couple of days of loading/unloading. It is a little tricky, but once you learn the process it is very easy and does not require much effort (if you can ride the ski you can load it). The key is to have the motor part of the jet ski over the axle. Once the...
Necessity is the mother of invention. I live in a condo and cannot have a full size trailer in the garage, so I came up with this. It works as a garage stand, ramp dolly and a hitch rack. Loading and unloading time is about the same to slightly quicker than using a trailer (If the ramp is full...

The bilge pump that I was running was an auto, off, on type. The "on" stopped working until I rewired it. Could it be that it stalled and was drawing too much power? Anyone....Please
I was running the 1100 GPH Rule bilge pump with a 10 amp fuse (calls for a 5 amp, thought I put a 5 amp in until I took it out to check yesterday). I got 2 500 GPH Rule pumps and will be putting a 5 amp fuse for both combined (calls for 2.5 amp fuse for each). I am also putting a new cable for...
