Hi Eric, we are also considering purchasing a porta bote. What model and size do you have and how do you store it while underway? Would it be possible to post a photo showing the dinghy

Hi Willem
No issues with the end cap.
Everything Maud sent fitted perfectly EXCEPT the woodruff key!
The slot in the new gear was smaller than the old one, so I filed the key down to make it
