Had to empty the conservatory lol, better than doing it outside in the rain, just hope the wheels will work ok,it's been going through my mind all day, you can see the problem I was up against, plastic trims holding floor down in the way. I have bought a trolley for moving engine to beach, so won't be dragging the engine to far up the beach, so it should take strain off the wheels, unless I use a slipway
Cheers Clive

Looks great, but should the wheels fold under the sib, I could be wrong as not an expert on all transom wheels

Well the ones you have are working now,and that’s the main thing, but I think they should have been the 350 mm on the 330

The 350mm would catch on bottom of boat, as the wheels are bigger

The problem is the leg length a bit to short
What do you mean barrel bolts counter sunk each side?

If you want to get it spot on I'd...
Deflate and pull away the floor and temp take it's plastic retainers off then move the leg brackets down so the top bolt goes through the bottom hole you have at the moment. Then drill a new hole for the bracket lower fixing and use one of Jeff's barrel nuts on the inside so its virtually flush and no threat to the back of the floor.
Then block the top holes with barrel nuts and a dome head bolt... that's assuming you are wanting to put the wheels back on in the up posn to go to sea. If not you can have towing eyes in the holes.
I reckon then the legs can go on the "right" way round.

Yeah thought of that, trouble would be getting silkaflex off the bolts and back of bracket, it goes off rock hard, so think it would turn out a nightmare of a job,might damage the transom trying to get the stuff off,maybe there would be a way of extending the arm ?
Thanks clive

Leave as is first and see how it works in real life testing. Don't think about the theory too much before you test

Oh yes they'll work. The only reason I'd think of the mods I mentioned was if the balance was wrong and it was too heavy on your trundle. If straight down a slip no problem.
