Otter Cabin with bench seat - auger location?


BoxMN

Recommended Posts

Otter Cabin users, how do you transport your auger if you have the bench seat? Do you put it under the seat, or do you rest it on top? One time when I had it on top, the sled tipped over, from too much weight up high I spose. I usually rest mine (Jiffy, so heavy) behind the seat, in between the seat and the slid together poles. It rests there just fine, but seems like it can get heavy on that side of the sled. I just pull mine, but wondering if I am going fast with a 4 wheeler or sled (I have neither right now) how I would set this up best.

Thanks for any advice.

I have a otter lodge with swivel seats and I didn't like pulling the sled with the auger inside below the seats, or on top of everything. I just got another otter sled on sale at the end of the season and it worked great. I could fit all the dump I need on the ice inside easily and keep it better organized. Now I throw in all the buckets, coolers, food, beer that I want to without having to get it all organized in the parking lot. I got the sled that was the same size as my portable so I just stack it below the shelter’s sled when I put it in my truck. I usually fish with 2 so we each pull one. If I’m alone I rigged it so I can tie it to the back of the fist sled. If I’m pulling the sled by hand on early/late ice it’s much easier to split the load between 2 sleds. If you are pulling with a sled or a atv another option might be to make some sort of rack for the auger on the ride.
