Hi
I've just ordered a set off transom wheels which I'm hoping to fit this week.
Do I need to order some kind of marine grade silicone to seal the holes?
Thanks

You’re probably better starting a new topic John and show us some images or links to what you are wanting to fit and to what buddyBoatmanjohn123 wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 19:34Hi guys, any experience on cart boat wheels for a small sib please?

Re: Fitting transom wheels.
I bought a second hand sib ad the only fault with it was the wheels were 14" wheelbarrow wheels which were too big and rubbed against the underside of the boat when moving it even though the brackets were about as low as they can go. Its got the curved legs that go under the boat which helps even the weight out. Not a problem though as I had some 12" wheels in the garage doing nothing so swapped them over. Havent used it again yet but not expecting any problems.
Before you fit any wheels I suggest you inflate the boat and check the position of the wheels, taking into account any movement once they have weight put on them, to ensure you dont put them too high and have this problem.

Re: Fitting transom wheels.
