Customer Reviews for VEVOR Boat Launching Wheels, 12" Boat Transom Launching Wheel, 500 LBS Loading Capacity Inflatable Boat Launch Wheels, Aluminium Alloy Transom Launching Dolly Wheels with 4 PCS of Quick Release Pins

Overall I am pleased now that this is setup on the transom of my dinghy.To make this work I did need to drill out a larger hole in one of the holes on the rod holding the wheels. Otherwise when the boat was propped up correctly, the pins would not fit through.

These wheels are sturdy and easy to install. I installed them by myself with a few hand tools in half an hour.I can now wheel my 110 pound dinghy down a set of concrete stairs, across a rocky shoreline, and into the water. This used to be difficult with two people, but I can now do it all by myself.My only complaint would be the retaining pins which hold the struts in place. You can pull the lower pin and flip the strut up out of the water. That's the idea, anyway. In reality, the retaining pins are hard to remove and install. The pins have a spring-loaded ball which acts as a detent, and that ball tends to stick in place when you try to install or remove the pin. It may get better if I can pack some grease into it; I haven't tried that yet.You may also want to tie a line to the pins so you don't lose them if you drop them in the water.I've just been leaving the wheels down when the boat is in the water. They add some drag but it's not a significant problem for me.

good quality for the cost

Work perfectlyOne exception... the rings on the pinsLaunched the boat ans went to flip the wheels upPulled on the ring, it uncoiled just as the pin came outI watched the pin sink to the bottomAt least the ring was attached to the safety cord
