How to launch inflatable boat with and without transom wheels

[@ricardobecerril1783]

Great clip and great attitude towards boating

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Thank you 😊

[@markweatherall7437]

Great video thank you, have you done a video like that on the beach?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Not with the intent of launching and stuff. I get to islands all the time using the transom wheels.

Hi, do you have a video showing showing the process how you would get the boat, the motor out of the water?

I'll ask them and see if they agree to send me one

Another useful video thanks. Do you ever use an anchor if so would you consider making a video of how to set and retrieve an anchor. I have purchased a grapling style anchor and would really appreciate any advice on how to use it correctly. Many thanks .

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Thank you. I have a 5 pounder but have yet to use it. I tend to bring the boat with me when I go camping using the transom wheels.

[@nicholasnugent4015]

Another good video. The transom wheels are the way to go. Thanks for the instruction.

My pleasure and thanks for wacthing!

[@nicolelugo7191]

How can I keep the pins from falling out ?? They slip so easy

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Mine don't have the pins. They are push pins. If the pins are stainless steel maybe a magnet will keep it in place.

[@davehill4295]

Do the transom wheels not lift up once underway

[@ErickMartinSucre]

The ones I have clip on and off.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

They do manually

[@davehill4295]

@@davehill4295 Nice! With time you build a routine with it and it geat easier.

[@maldrury8313]

The transom wheels are the way to go. On a busy day at the ramp you will not be able to take up space while you inflate the boat. Have you tried using a kayak cart on the Kaboat before?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Yes I have. I had to use some straps to keep the wheels steady on the cart

What motor did you use that made your inflatable go fast? Thanks

[@ErickMartinSucre]

In this video, I am using my 6hp Tohatsu with a downgraded prop. Original prop 7.8x8, and the one I am using is a 7.8x7. I recently prurchase a Hangkai 12hp 2 stroke and been using that mostly.

[@nismomo]

Funny I just installed wheels on my boat 20 mins ago and your video popped up!

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Haha!! Cool man those wheels are sweet. Super easy to get in the water and out of the water. I usually park the boat right next to my tent when I go island camping.

[@kinnysama]

Which transom wheels did you order that have the spring pop in clips like that? I have seen the ones where you need to remove the pin completely to adjust them, and I'm not all about that.

[@airwolf8915]

Do the wheels remain down after the launch ?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

No, you lift the off the water.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

I should probably make a video on how they work.

[@airwolf8915]

@@ErickMartinSucre I have only launch my sib once and left the wheels down because I didn't realise they were supposed to fold up after the boat is in the water. A video on how to do it would be a great help to me personally. Thanks for making these informative videos.👍

[@phsenor]

Can u make a video on how to take boat out of water after

[@ErickMartinSucre]

With or without transom wheels?

[@jennifermullinix8363]

Came here to ask the same. With wheels for me, but without may be helpful, too

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Wheel trollies help. I used to use them before but then got the transom wheels. I'll be going to Fort de Soto soon so I may make the video then

[@Bing724]

Great video. How easy is it to pull the boat (13’ Saturn FB) out of water with the wheels and up the ramp ?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

If the boat ramp you are on is not slippery, super easy. If it is filled with moss and algae, take you time pulling it up, because slipping can be painful.

[@marks6072]

You always sound like you’re having so much fun. Looks like a riot. What do you do with the two transom wheels once you’re under way?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Hehe thanks!! Yes I unclip one end and lift them. Depending on the model you have or get they can unclip or use a clamp so you can lift the wheels up.

[@travisrolando8205]

Great vid my friend! If I ever get another inflatable boat I'll make sure to get some transom wheels for it.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

The wheels make a huge difference

[@captainoblivionthicc1004]

This is a pretty random question but what is the length of the boat used in this video?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Thank you for dropping a question. That's a Saturn BB 290 and it's 9.6 feet long.

[@captainoblivionthicc1004]

Erick Martin Sucre Thank u

[@ErickMartinSucre]

You bet

[@001Cherith]

The boat ramps in the area I live usually is quite busy, so the first option is out-nobody has the patience to wait an inflatable gets ready. I’m thinking to get a dolly instead. Any suggestions?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

A dolly would be a cost effective way of doing it but eventually you'll want to get some transom wheels on the boat. It's juts so much easier with the wheels. Something like this amzn.to/30VGL0T

[@ErickMartinSucre]

@Got_nuffin_on_me It's ok. It takes me a little bit longer for me to set up camera and stuff.

[@Alex_and_Georgie]

Shows that you made it into the water..but would like to see how you actually get into the boat and move away from the shore

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Hmm, yeah, I should record that. I'll probably make a KZbin short.

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

I was thinking this would be good for a condo but I wasent sure how powerful a 6HP engine until I saw the video, thanks.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Yes the little motor is very capable and very reliable

[@Spiritwing7]

Great vids Erick. Question: tricky figuring how to transport and launch a 15 foot with 100 lb outboard using the wheels. Seems impossible without just using a boat trailer and forgetting about the wheels. A flat bed trailer may work but then the trailer would be way too long and probably not good to have boat spend too much time on the wheels (better to rest transom on ground for long drive). You seem to have good ideas and so thought to ask.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Hmm, well, I transport my in my car. Once I arrive at the boat ramp, I inflatable the boat, put on the wheels, place the outboard and roll it to the boat ramp. Once in the boat ramp,ni begin to pack the boat with my things. What kind of car do you use?

[@Spiritwing7]

@@ErickMartinSucre thanks for the response ! I use a truck and have no problem getting it to the ramp and inflating it there. But then there’s the heavy outboard which is the problem. To push a family of 4 or 5 I suspect a 9.9 HP or above may be ideal. So we’re looking at 100 lb or greater weight so loading and unloading becomes a challenge. I can go with a 6 HP which would be lighter for transport but I had a bad experience before with laying motors down sideways and though they say it’s doable with some, I’m a bit anxious about that. That’s my thoughts while I figure out a good combo to take out to the lake !

[@ErickMartinSucre]

15-20hp would be ideal. I know that Tohatsus can be laid down on the tiller side. Add me on FB, I'll send you a pick. Same name as my channel.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

I got a better idea. I'll make a quick video on how to lay the outboard

Hey Erick! Great video! Is this the same as a beach launch. Im new to this, the last time i went out backwards the current kept taking the boat into the shallows and couldnt put my outboard down in time. It was on a lake beach. So no waves. Just wind and current. Any tips. Thanks!

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Hmm, if your boat doesn't have oars then bring a long kayak paddle that way you can maneuver better until you get into deeper water. That would be my take but let me know what you think

Nah. Holding a heavy motor and stepping into the ramp's green slime is a sure future trip to an emergency room. People slip on the slime by themselves daily at the ramps, now imagine them holding a motor. A major life changing event.
