Does this lift both sides of the boat evenly? I'm trying to duplicate your setup, and the side with the pulley attached to the boat lifts much more than the side where the rope is tied. I'm thinking of putting a pulley on that side as well and tying off to the upper bracket.
@LLuE88 That's a good point, but I have treated the bottom of the kayak with a product designed to prevent the material from breaking down. I make sure to reapply it every summer, and during the winter, well we don't get much sun in the winter in Maine, so its a moot point, but if we did, it would be a simple matter of re-applying it before the winter, too.
Good job, if you plan on having the kayak suspended there for several years of disuse, I think you will find that the sun will kill the material kayak structure from the direct sun rays. For the sake of the kayak it would be much better under the cover [up against the exposed joists] of the door walkway. It appears that there is ample room, may mot be as appealing though?
@davidshilts I haven't run into that problem because my back yard is pretty sheltered. If you were having issues though, I'd imagine that you could easily pad the house with a foam block to prevent any banging around.
Perfect! Ive been looking at other setups and this looks like the easiest and most straightforward! Great setup great explanation!
