Otter Sled Sizes For Thier Portables?


Majestic

Recommended Posts

I was thinking about buying an Otter portable but they don't say which sled size they use for each portable.

I don't want a Large sled, I'm thinking probably a Magnum.

I also want it to be a thermal, which one matches this description?

The Otter Lodge is what you want. I just bought an insulated Canvas Craft that uses the Magnum Otter sled and it gives you enough room for two. Some say three but I think it would be real tight. The nice thing about the Magnum sled is it fits nice in a 6 1/2' truck bed.

This is my issue with the Large sled, I just owned and sold my Large Canvas Craft because it would not fit in a normal truck bed. It will only fit if you have the big 8 foot bed.

It was the ultimate shack though, just a little big for what I like to do and thats pull them with sled or wheeler for miles. Can't beat the Large if you got the big truck box and just like to drive out to your spot though.

From what I gather is the Magnum will fit in a normal truck bed, and it will be a bit lighter which also helps.

the cottage uses a small ultra wide sled(32"W X 54"L X 18"T).

the cabin uses a medium sled(36" X 65" X 20").

the lodge uses a magnum sled(38" X 76" X 20").

the resort uses a large sled(44" X 84" X 22").

these sizes are collapsed and with the house on top of the sled. height would be 5"'s shorter with out the house on the sled.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.
