building transom wheels?
Not sure if this is in the right section but I've been looking at transom wheels and they are a bit pricey, specially since my SIB isn't a high end one. I was thinking they wouldn't be too hard to build with a couple of pieces of aluminum U channel a couple of trolley wheels, and a ring pin or 2, maybe $30 worth of hardware at the local home improvement store.

Re: building transom wheels?
People have made their own in the past. If your boat and engine combo is not too heavy it is pretty easy to do.
Not a complete idiot - some parts are missing.
