Just set your tank on the far port side of the tailgate... anywhere else is risky.

I had some aircraft cable and duck tape somewhere around here... hmmm.

I just don't see how it would make fiscal sense for a shop to rent scooters.
I did one of the first GUE scooter courses and, I think between the 7 of us (including the instructors) we killed 2 gavins over a weekend.

Obviously they just required maintenance, one was flooded because of stupidity and one of the scooters was damaged by the repeated put your hand in the prop drills (I suspect the plastic Mako parts in the Gavin were stressed excessivley because of the stronger Delrin clutches they fit).

People are a lot less careful with the stuff they rent, it could end up being a money pit for any store renting them.

Here you go- you can rent an x-scoot for $50/day. Which is about what a 'trox fill for your doubles will cost you... and who wouldn't want to go visit sunny Encinitas, CA?
