These transom wheels should only be installed by an adult with some experience in working with tools. To install the wheelset properly, first drill 4 holes (5/16”) in the transom for the mounting. Additional reinforcement may be required on some aluminum transom. And you can use marine sealant and suggested Sikaflex 291 or 3M 5200.

Our new tires are now 12” in diameter and about 4” wide. They are made of 4 plies reinforced vehicle grade natural rubber which holds up well against UV rays, heat and saltwater for up to ten years. To prevent air loss, we use an advanced butyl inner tube for our wheels with an “L” style cooper air valve.

INSTALLATION
These wheels have 2+1 adjustment positions for length base on the wheel arm end rotation position upper or lower. to remove the leg assembly from the bracket, simply push the stainless steel locking button and then the rotation button to release.
The wheels must face towards the boat tubes and be as far apart as possible (it brings more stability when moving the boat around) and clear the boat tubes by about one inch so they don’t rub against the tubes when being raised or lowered. The wheels must also clear from the bottom of the boat by about one inch when placed in their lowered position.
Once you have determined the mounting positions for the brackets which should be straight up and down on the transom and about 6-8 inches up from the bottom of the bracket to the bottom of the boat. Mark where to drill the 5/16” holes (drill bit not included). This is best done by separating the leg assembly from the bracket. Double-check everything again before drilling any holes! Holes and transom must be vertical.
Use the supplied washers and lock nuts on the bolts on the inside of the transom to secure the brackets to the transom and then cap them with the supplied acorn nuts to protect your boat when rolled up.
