Valves are Borika FASTen Model 04.05


A Halkey Roberts type or better this Bravo Adjustable Valve Adapter will fit.

Boatworld ordered some in for myself as thought it may be prudent to have a couple as spares, particularly with the current situation in the Ukraine. Think they now carry a few in stock.

Have also seen them online at Bengar in Germany.

See this thread for some ideas... my choice is shown in posts 96 & 100. Bear in mind I like transom wheels you remove after launch, many prefer a swing up type.

Got these new beachmaster wheels I found kicking around the shed.
Me thinks the brackets are far too wide for the elling, so gunna have to read the previous posts.
Cheers btw.

Reckon Beachmasters just doable on the Elling if you accept it’s a lowrider….engine raised, limited clearance, short haul on smooth terrain etc. etc. Super easy to deploy/raise and a neat low profile design.

For our use tend to favour large diameter wheels and high clearance for uneven/soft terrain and easy surf recovery…with wheels deeper than motor we can stop outside the surf zone, deploy wheels, power in riding on the back of a wave and get deposited in the shallows without fear of grounding prop.

If after high ground clearance would have no hesitation recommending something like ours…a Russian copy, Seamax design, super strong cantilever style off fleaBay but sadly no longer available.

As Fenlander a big fan of Trem heavy duty non flip jobbies with the two point fixings, but at 260mm centres a tad deep and not tall enough for the shallow raised Elling transom. These are some Trem copies we got from SecureFix Direct.

Seamax do a couple very smart super strong sets, but come at a premium price and from Canada.

Zodiac Z61161 are also a decent option although again not cheap. Non flip type but good length and very strong. Think Fenlander fitted this type to his Elling, and they came in stainless.

I like the look of the Seamax Deluxe 4x4 but damn they are expensive after shipping at taxes to Denmark.

Hi There
When I bought my KB350 those wheel were ones fitted they are basic wheels that do the job,

I found myself that the wheels were too small and I replaced them with 14 in wheels that I found much better to launch and retrieve my sib and also to pull it off and on my trailer.
Hope this helps.
