PA Owners question - Refitting the wheels???

Post by gtxrally »

Hi Guys, took the new PA out for a spin today and it was brilliant.

I do have one question to existing pa owners though?

Once you come back to shore how does everyone refit there cart trolly? Do you roll it on the side? lift from the back?
I found this quite hard to do and thought that there must be an easier way/
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.
Dale.

Hi Dale,
I think you'll find most guys turn the PA on it's side and push the cart into the front scupper holes, which allows you to push the PA from the back which is alot easier.

Yeah mate, most guys lift it on the side as the others have said. Easiest thing is to pull anything that will fall out first.

I find that lifting where the rail is situated to be most comfortable, then when I have it up I just lean it against my thigh and work the wheels into whichever hole takes my fancy (now theres an image).

You'll get the hang of it after a couple of outings.
cheers

Hi Guys,
I haven't had much time to read any posts since November last year, and have replied to none but thought I should reply to this one. The EASIEST way to re-fit the wheels after fishing is to "Ask for Help".
I can't think of any occasion that I have returned to shore and not had at least one other person with me, or a passer-by that didn't want to stop for a chat. If you're fishing alone, then tip it on it's side. No biggie!
