Question: What if I have wooden brackets holding floor on a way of bolts?

The video below, posted by a customer on YouTube, demonstrates a custom DIY modification of the dinghy wheel system we sell. Please note that we do not offer modified parts. If you are installing the system on narrow boats, such as KaBoats, non-standard DIY installation might be required. For more details, please refer to the Attachments tab.
Additionally, some aluminum transoms may be extruded, resulting in lips at the bottom. The outer surface of these transoms may not be completely flat. If the wheel brackets need to be mounted on this type of transom, spacers must be installed between the bracket and the transom. Suitable spacer materials include 2x4 wood, composite, PVC trims, or rectangular aluminum tubes.
Question: What if the transom attachment area is thinner than the length of the supplied mounting bolts?
Answer: Provided bolts designed for standard plywood transom. For thinner locations you can either purchase a shorter set of stainless steel bolts and nuts from a local hardware store, or use spacers between the inside of the transom and the nut, such as additional washers or a larger nut. For example, when mounting the wheels on an aluminum transom, the included longer bolts may be too long and may not work properly. In that case, the customer will need to purchase a shorter set of stainless steel bolts. Depending on the application, new matching holes may also need to be drilled in both the transom and the wheel brackets.
