Product Details

The Davis Instruments Wheel-a-Weigh Extra Duty Pivoting Transom Wheels are designed for larger inflatable, aluminum, and fiberglass small craft, providing a convenient solution for launching and retrieving boats. This heavy-duty model supports loads up to 330 pounds, making it ideal for substantial dinghies, tenders, and small boats.

Key Features:

  • Curved Wheel Frames: The innovative curved design pivots under the transom in the down position, distributing weight forward for improved balance and easier transportation across sand, gravel, or hard surfaces
  • Roller Needle Bearings: Precision roller needle bearings between the hub and axle ensure smooth wheel rotation even under heavy loads
  • Locking Positions: Wheel frames lock securely in both up and down positions for safe operation and transport
  • Quick Release System: Stainless steel detent pins allow for fast wheel removal when desired
  • Premium Construction: All components are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, except for the precision-molded wheel hubs and durable rubber tires

Complete mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions are included. In most cases, the craft can be operated with the wheels in the up position, or the wheels can be quickly removed entirely. This versatile transom wheel system makes solo launching and retrieval simple and efficient.
