True Kit Discovery
With our new QuickLok Dinghy wheels you have even more freedom than ever. Freedom to easily move your boat along the beach or down the boat ramp. Freedom to quickly remove them and pack your boat away. They are designed to be low profile so they sit in behind your transom and don't interfere with your outboard.
Our QuickLok wheels are manufactured in New Zealand from marine grade stainless steel (316). What this means for you is they don't corrode. They have a unique release system that takes literally a second to remove them. There are no aluminium parts to cause bi-metal corrosion which is a common problem, especially around salt water.
The large 265mm diameter wheels will power over most terrain with ease. A simple self-locking mechanism keeps them in place whether they are in the up or the down position. In the unfortunate situation that your dinghy flips upside down with the wheels attached in the on water position, the auto-lock system will prevent them from detaching from the boat.
Please note wheels purchased through this option are installed by True Kit as part of the package.
Each wheel has 4 strong stainless studs that get mounted onto the transom making the wheels clip on and off the transom with a single push of the locking plate. While our wheels are perfect for a True Kit dinghy, they can be purchased and fitted to nearly any other brand of dinghy (choose self-fitting option).
