Newport Inflatable Boat Removable Transom Launch Wheels - Fits Any Transom Boat!

Great wheels for an inflatable zodiac boat. Install was easy but you need to take your time as you are drilling into the hull of the boat. Well built too with easy removal.

This boat wheel kit from Newport Vessels really exceeded expectations. Materials and machining are great, functions just as it should My two favorite features are the pins that auto-lock into place so you don’t have to struggle to insert a pin, and the multiple angles available so you can angle the wheels back and out of the way in the up position. Worth every penny FYI if you need longer bolts for a thicker transom like I did…the included bolts are 8mmx1.25x50mm

I installed these on my Zodiac Cadet 310 inflatable boat. These are really built well--the aluminum extrusions are very thick (I think 1/4") and the wheel assembly are very substantial. I don't know where people found that there was debris inside the tires--the nylon rim and tires are virtually impossible to separate. The tire quality is very good. Everything about these launch wheels is first rate. Compared to all of the other brands out there, I think that these launch wheels are much better than most and you won't be disappointed with this product. I have a 6 HP Tohatsu four stroke outboard and rolling around my boat is very easy and smooth with these wheels. Frankly, they are overkill for a small 310 boat like mine.

both tubes were dry rotted when i got it, and wouldn't hold air. they both popped. there was a ton of gross manufacturing slime on the tires and wheels, and my hands were black after working on it. i tried patching, but it wouldn't hold. i got replacement tubes in town, one of them popped as well. the reason they popped is because the wheel "spokes" make it hard to install the pump. you have to pull the valve out at a weird angle, and i think it stresses the tube around the valve. i had already drilled my 8 holes through the transom, so I'm stuck with this design. I've gone through 3 popped tubes already, and need to buy another one. I want to return this, but I also can't, unless I want to fill these holes and drill a new hole pattern. Hopefully I can just get compensated for the extra time and money these caused me to waste. the kicker is that it delayed me a day and a half during my crabbing trip. Anyway, buy something else. And if you don't, make sure you fill the tires (and leave them overnight) before going on your trip.

I installed the wheels. Generally they are good quality but… two weeks after I installed them I went to use them and both tires were flat. Ive pumped them up twice since and they do not hold air.

They work great on my Newport Catalina. 12.6. Easy to install. Just make sure holes are drilled straight. Airing up the tires is the hardest thing but just hold the valve with a flathead and put the air line on. You can bust them. Watch it carefully. I read all the reviews to hear what happened to others. Got mine on and now I can move my boat around to store it for winter. I walked the boat into and out of water on boat ramp with ease. Well worth installing if you want fast acess to water and getting out.

Great overall. Better than all others seen. Pros- longer than prop can pull from water with motor down, adjustable arms help for storage, big tires easily roll over curb, light weight, solid metal. Cons- pins are hard to line up and easy lost, order push pins 3/8 inch diameter by 3inch length. I got two on Amazon for $20 and made a world of difference. The wheels are so buoyant I can't put them down while in water. But I can lift the boat slightly and they easily drop into place.

These work really well for me, and allow me to launch my 100lb inflatable boat with the 60lb motor in place. I can get it into and out of the water single-handed, which is a major advantage when I go out with my kids. This ability allows me to use car-top launch site like kayak and canoe launches, which is a big advantage where I live. They prevent a lot of wear and tear as you don't need to drag the boat on the ground. Installation was fairly easy, but was a bit nerve-wracking. Drilling holes in my transom is not fun, but I followed the instructions and everything seemed to go well. I used a ton of marine grade sealant on the bolts and around the brackets on the exterior of the transom for good measure. The 2 issues I ran into was the size of the wheels and sand. I have a 14' inflatable boat and the wheels won't fold up as there isn't enough space. If I install them with the wheels facing out they get caught under the pontoons, if the wheels face inward they get in the way of the motor. I generally have them facing out, then remove and stow them on board once in the water. When I get back I'll install them facing inward and raise the motor. Once I beach the boat I'll lift the back and the wheels drop and lock into place. If you launch from a beach sand will get inside of the legs and jam up the sliding and locking mechanisms. They will need to be disassembled and cleaned periodically, or they can seize up. This is especially bad for the locking bars, they need to be able to move freely so they can lock in place on the bracket installed on the transom. Despite these 2 issues they wheels are great and have served me well so far.

Muy fácil de utilizar

Good solid cart. Great for my inflate boat.

Garbage. The left leg/wheel deflated in the water and the brand new Honda BF 2.3 outboard prop struck a rock.

Open to box to find out one tubed have a big puncture. Spoilt my trip

I like the overall design of the product, but man, what is wrong with the tires? First of all, the weird angle of the valve makes the tires very difficult to inflate (I finally did it after reading another review about using a flathead screw driver) ; then after a couple of uses, both tires became completely flat and unable to inflate. Now I stuck with a useless product but unable to switch as the transom was already drilled.
