Seamax EZ Load Boat Launching Wheels Set for Inflatable Boat & Aluminum Boat, Support MAX 500Lbs Loading with 12" Pneumatic Tire & 2 Height Position

A product manufactured in Canada. Solid parts, everything was in the box. Clear instructions with photos. Yes they are priced high, no question. But the parts are heavy aluminum and machined perfectly. Tires and wheels are a standard 6” air inflatable rated to 600lbs each. Haven’t even mounted this kit yet yet but I find it to be worth every dime I paid for it. I have the utmost confidence this wheel kit won’t let me down. Which is a big deal here. This is a boat. Not bicycle I could break and and walk home from.

I decided to write this, my first product review ever, because I like the product enough to want to take the time. It's a mixed review but I bumped it up to 4 stars because the Seamax customer service has been remarkable! They seem like a dedicated small company of real people. That's a good reason to buy their product right there.Great product design, exceptional customer service and excellent quality except for those tires and inner tubes!!! I would say buy the product but beware of tire rupture if you receive a crappy 25 PSI rated tire. At least be assured that Seamax will quickly ship you a replacement if needed, as they did for me.Pros:- The spring-loaded button design of the wheel release is fantastic! You can easily pop the wheels into landing position one-handed and not even get your hand wet while afloat. It makes a very satisfying clicking sound that almost makes you want to do it again just to hear the sound. Much easier to use those anchoring pins used in other wheel designs.- The material of the wheel mounts is very high quality aluminum, satin-finished, smooth and precise.- The whole assembly floats. (Yes, I tested it.)- Height is adjustable which is nice for different beach slopes and whatnot.- Very easy to remove completely from the transom so no worry about interference with the outboard motor.- I was extremely impressed with my customer service experience. They sent a replacement wheel in the blink of an eye, at no charge. They were also very responsive to and appreciative of my comments.Cons:When I opened the shipping box, one of the tires was already flat. Not just the tube but the tire itself was ruptured! I don't really fault Seamax for this because they I'm sure they order the tires and tubes from some overseas manufacturer. I only wish Seamax would spend a few extra bucks to order higher quality tires and inner tubes. Or perhaps use a rigid plastic tire like some other transom wheel makers. This would make the product perfect!(On a positive note, the replacement tire I received was of much higher quality. It was fully formed and the inflation rating on the sidewall was 50 PSI whereas the one that ruptured said 25 PSI. Hopefully they will use the 50 PSI rated tires on all future wheels.)The tires and inner tubes are made of a material so inferior that they made the product I received non-functional. Worse than a cheapo hardware store tire, it looked like the rubber had not even filled the tire mold. The treads were not fully formed and the carcass was so thin that the inner tube busted right through. The inner tube was not the familiar supple inner tube (butyl?) rubber but some sort of super-crappy greasy stuff that felt like old leather. I ended up buying my own inner tube from the hardware store. Even the cheapest hardware store wheelbarrow inner tube was much better quality. Seamax suggests to inflate only to 15 PSI to avoid tire rupture, but 15 PSI is not enough tire pressure. Besides, the tire should have the ability to inflate at least to the rating on the sidewall (25 PSI) without rupturing. Again, not the fault of Seamax because they did not manufacture the tire. They should just find better tires.

The moment I opened the box I realized how awesome this product is. Very high quality polished aluminum, solid wheels. Bought this after I installed and used a competitor’s set with small solid plastic wheels which was a total disaster both on the sand and on paving. I am sure this ones will last and perform wonderfully. I LOVE the fact that once you have the boat in the water, you can remove the wheels together with the stays with one hand (they click in) and I am planning to use the then exposed rails to hold fishing rod and another one for the Fishfinder sonar.

Upon opening the package I was amazed at the outstanding quality. The aluminum is not cheap at all and extremely sturdy. The neat surprise is that the wheels and legs are easily removable so you can remove them in case you don't want to travel underway in a "wheels up" position. I have a 12 foot long homebuilt marine plywood skiff that is glassed over. My skiff was impossible to drag up the beach with just myself and I am in shape (down to the water was no problem). These wheels make what was once a drudgery into an easy affair. I highly recommend these to anyone who keeps a small boat or tender near the beach on a rack or who has a pickup and doesn't want to have to find a boat launch.

Very poor instructions on how to mount the wheels to the bushing I have you figure it all out there aluminum it comes with is excellent and looks pretty good it’s made in an Canada not the USA but better then china crap
