My 3 wheel  skate was delivered yesterday afternoon. It was too hot to swap it out so I did it this morning. Mine came with a bolt and nut instead of a pin, but I had a couple pins laying around so no problem. The hardest part of the install was getting the old wheel off. Wow, what a difference the skate makes. With the 3 wheels, the front of the boat moves around the garage like an office chair. LOL Thanks again for posting about the skate

You're Welcome and I'm glad it worked out for you.

Stupid easy to roll - so much better.

Interesting that it comes with a nut & bolts now.

I'd be very concerned with durability if the unit was left on and rattling all over the place on the road.

Suppose a stretch cord or a strap of some kind could control that.

Either way ~ Enjoy.

I don't see why anyone would want to travel with it attached when it's so easy to remove and replace when you need it. But yeah, I would use a bungee cord or something to tie it so it doesn't rattle around. I have a feeling a few of my friends are going to be ordering one once they stop by and see how easy the boat moves now

The Stock unit had nothing and was a PIA.

 

The new one has a brake and actually rolls.

AJ- do you store it only on that or do you support it with something else?  If only that, is it a lot more stable than the stock one?

I remove it for travel.  Super easy just pull the pin.  So easy a caveman can do it. 

 100 times better than stock on a hard surface. 

Get one.

I use one of these cast concrete deck supports available at most home improvement stores. The wheel of my trailer jack fits either facing forward or 90 degrees. The added benefit is they lift the tongue so water rolls off of the cover or towards the back drain if the boat is uncovered.

Now this, I like. How tall is this thing? 

They're 12"x12" at the base by x8" tall. Here's a link.

My uncle gave it to me when I bought the boat from him.  Works great.

Think I will stop on my way home and grab one of these to try. Thanks
