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 as possible, with the tires facing out. Mark the
horizontal location.
2. ALLOW 7" (18 cm) ABOVE THE PIVOT BRACKET
for the wheels to clear the top of the transom.
Measure and mark the vertical location.

distance is not exceeded between the pivot bracket
and the top of the transom.
7” max.

3. MARK TRUE VERTICAL. Most applications call for
perpendicular orientation of the wheel frames. This
can be determined using a T-square.
