single kayak hoist system
I made this simple kayak hoist system by pulling together different ideas I found on the internet. Maybe there are videos out there that are similar, but I couldn't find them. That is why I went into detail with this video. it cost me about $160.00 for all material and winch. the max load capacity holds 250, maybe more. My kayak fully loaded is almost 200 lbs and I tested it with that. it's been hanging for a month and so far no issues. Hope this helps! Below is the list of materials and the instructions: • 10 ft ceiling and no room to stow kayak any other location in or around home • Keep out of the sun • Able to drop onto truck bed without lifting • Quick disconnects • 3 hrs to install • Total cost $160 (not including battery) 1x - 2x4x10 1x - 2x6x8 4x - 1/8-inch quick link 4x - 3/8-inch x 3-1/2-inch stainless steel spring link 4x - 3/8-inch x 4-inch eyebolt with nut 8x - ALC washers (2 washer per eye bolt). I am not sure what size. Just match them to the bolt. 1x - 100 ft ¼ rope rated 200 lbs. or more 8x - 1-1/2-inch ceiling mounted pulley 1x - 2000 Badlands winch (or winch of your choice) 1x - box of #10 x 4-inch exterior screw (you will use 42 screws for this project) 1x - 3/16-inch x 1-1/2-inch nickel-plated ring. Must be rated 200 lbs. capacity or more. 1. Get 2 boards……2x4x10 and 2x6x8. Cut both in half equally. 2. Mount the 2x4x5’s on ceiling to beams with 9x 4-inch exterior wood screws (each board) 3. Drill and insert the eye bolts (don’t forget washers) into the 2x6 boards, about 2 inches from edges. 4. Mount the pulleys 4 and 4 on each ceiling 2x4. Look at video for spacing. 5. Mount your winch on either end of the kayak. Make sure you have enough room to raise and lower your kayak. ***This is very important!*** 6. Put 2x6’s on the ground below the 2x4’s and add a heavy object to keep them in place. 7. Put a stainless-steel spring link on each of the eyebolts 8. Thread the rope through each of the pulleys and tie to each stainless-steel spring link 9. Make sure each line is tight and tie the other ends to each of the 4 - 1/8-inch quick links. 10. Take the 4 - 1/8-inch quick links and secure them to the 3/16-inch x 1-1/2-inch nickel-plated ring. 11. With the winch cable pulled out to the needed length, connect the 3/16-inch x 1-1/2-inch nickel-plated ring to the winch Hook. 12. Connect battery and test lift. **End of instructions**
