I'm finally rigging my newer Trident 13 and found my kayak cart will not fit through the front hatch because, for some inexplicable reason, the new click-and-seal front hatches are quite a bit smaller than the previous hatches.

If anyone else has a 2017-and up T13 and a cart that fits through that hatch, what cart is it?

New "features" are sometimes more of a PITA than a bonus.
I expected the worst, but it was worse than I expected...

Does it not fit, even with the wheels taken off?

I can't speak to that model of kayak in particular, but I have been super impressed with my C-Tug kayak cart. In about 15 seconds I can have it completely broken down and I would be very surprised if it didn't fit in your front hatch.

I got the sand tires and they work as well as the balloon tires on other carts but don't float, so you can actually put your cart on in the water as I prefer doing. If you don't need sand tires it's cheaper and it should fit in your hatch even easier.

The only downside to it is that I have to constantly lubricate the axle posts. <shrug>

Thank you.  I've thought about a C-Tug but I'd like to see one in person - they're just odd looking.  People who use them seem to like them a lot, so I shouldn't judge the book...

-Mark-

No, it doesn't, not even with the wheels off.  I don't remember the brand, but it has fixed bunk rails and doesn't get as small as most.  I'd only need a little more room to finagle it in, but the new transducer scupper "tunnel"(?) is in the way.  I don't mind replacing it, I'd just like to think whatever I get will fit through the hatch.

Sounds like we need to go fishing together.

Are you sure we don't need to just go fishing, wherever each of us may be?  Someday we'll bump into each other, Cap'n.  We almost did - literally - at an AOTY one year.  I was going to say "Hi!" but you had your game face on... and it scared me.  :D
