Overview

The Bunkster uprights can easily be repositioned along the axle to maximize compatibility with different kayak widths and body lines of the hull. The axle features six bunk positions ranging from 6.25” to 16” wide.

Tie-Downs and Bunk Pads

Securing a kayak to the Bunkster with straps can be different for every model of kayak, so like the TowNStow BarCart, the Bunkster has an integrated tie-down point located at the center of the axle. The tie-down point is designed for 1” flat webbing cam straps (not included), but you can also use rope with less than 5/16” diameter. One distinct difference you will find from the BeadLoc, hard surface tires is the Sand Tires do not feature the integrated tie down point on the end on the wheel hub. For added grip on the underside of your kayak, the Bunkster includes four super “grippy” rubber bumpers. For long-term durability, we opted for designing snap-on rubber bumpers instead of common foam.

Wheels

Included are two air-filled balloon tires mounted on an injection molded two-piece wheel. The air-filled tires are optimized for various soft surfaces including sand and mud, and yes, they are YakAttack Orange. The wheels feature sealed hubs to keep out sand and grit. Like the BeadLoc wheels, they easily snap in place and are removed by a push of a button, and are interchangeable.

Storage and Components

Many anglers set up their kayaks in the boat ramp parking lot and then cart them to water’s edge, but taking the cart back to their vehicle is not always an option. Doing so leaves your kayak and gear unattended and susceptible to theft. The Bunkster was designed to disassemble completely and without the need for tools. The wheels remove by depressing the button behind the hub on the axle and can be done in seconds. The fixed uprights remove by lifting the orange position detent lever and sliding them off the axle. Everything minus the centralized tie-down point can be removed from the aluminum axle, leaving you with five parts that can be stored in most hatches.

The Bunkster comes with two kickstands, configured with one on each side to optimize and support the loading angle for both sides of the cart. When not in use, the beefy kickstands snap in place, locked out of the way.
