ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The process below will be repeated for both port and
starboard wheels. Quality of installation depends on
careful measurements—"measure twice, drill once."
1. POSITION WHEELS ON THE TRANSOM. Be sure
they clear obstructions such as lifting handles on an
aluminum boat or tubes of an inflatable. Leave clear-
ance for outboard motors. Position the wheels as far
apart of possible, with the tires facing out. Mark the
horizontal location.
2. ALLOW NO MORE THAN 3
1
/2" (9 cm) BELOW THE
PIVOT BRACKET for the wheels to clear the bottom
of the transom. Measure and mark this vertical loca-
tion.
