[QUOTE="Superlucky, post: 462166, member: 24214"] The biggest downside to mounting them on the transom is if your wheels drop into a pothole or you hit something, It generates a lot of force. My dad had some mounted to the back of his inexpensive (thin transom) aluminum many years ago and he ripped one of them off after impact. Left a lot of carnage on the boat. I like the ones for the kayak as shown above because if something is hit, they will just slide backwards. Unfortunately, with a set up like that you have to have a way to drop the wheels after launching and retrieve them. Drive slow and avoid obstacles. Best regards Bill [/QUOTE]
