Review on Removable Transom Launch Wheels for Newport Vessels Inflatable Boats - Suitable for All Transom Boats! by Chris Dildine

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The wheels are not good

Both tubes were rotten when I got them and wouldn't hold air. both jumped out. There was a lot of rough production slime on the tires and rims and my hands were blackened from the job. I tried to patch it but it didn't last. I have spare tubes in town, one of them burst too. They burst because the "spokes” of the wheel make it difficult to install the pump. You have to pull the valve out at an odd angle and I think that puts stress on the tubing around the valve. I've already drilled my 8 holes in the crossbar so I'm sticking with this design. I've already swallowed 3 burst hoses and need to buy another one. I want to get that back, but I can't either, unless I want to patch those holes and drill a new hole pattern. I hope I can only be compensated for the extra time and money that caused me to waste it. The most interesting thing is that it delayed me by a day and a half during my crab fishing. Definitely buy something else. And if not, fill up your tires (and leave them overnight) before you head out.

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
