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.
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
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.
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.
