Comments about Dock Edge 18" Roll-In Dock Wheel:
I bought these for their intended use, to roll a float out of the water. While in water they will be submerged. There is a hole in them from manufacturing. That means that they will be full of water when they roll out of water. That then means the water left in them will not only make the wheel very heavy but likely cause the wheel to freeze and break during winter months when float is out of water. I will find a way to plug this hole. I find it rather amazing that this wheel sold for this purpupose comes with a hole in it!. Hole is needed for molding, but should be sealed after it is removed from mold and cooled. Durability of wheel will cause me to keep it and seal the hole, but I strongly feel that wheel shouldn't be sold for this purpose with a hole in it!

Comments about Dock Edge 18" Roll-In Dock Wheel:
Have not been able to use the wheels yet because the dock is dry docked at this time but they were very easy to install and look to be exactly what I needed.

Comments about Dock Edge 18" Roll-In Dock Wheel:
I ordered 4 of these to help me pull my Shore Docker boat lift out of the water. They have 1 7/8" holes, so I used chain link fence posts as axles and the I was able to use the chain link brackets to hold the wheels on. Once the wheels & axle were under the Shore Docker, I was able to use the winch to pull it out of the water. They roll so well, I pulled it over the lawn to it's winter storage spot about 40' from shore. I'm not a big guy, 130#. I would have given 5 stars, but one out of four wheels got some water inside. This is not a problem as I store the Shore Docker outside on blocks and the wheels & axles in the basement.

Comments about Dock Edge 18" Roll-In Dock Wheel:
No complaints on the wheel itself, but if possible use a larger diameter wheel on a rocky bottom. Rolls well, seems rugged. I would not put the boat weight on the wheel, I built a retractable axle so the wheel is down only when the lift is moved.

Q:
where do you get the O.D. axle for the dock wheels? thanksAsked on 6/23/2009 by Anonymous2 answers
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
O.D. just means outside diameter. We offer 1 7/8" pipe (item 75884) that can be used for axle material or you can check you local hardwre store for other 1 7/8" materials.Answered on 6/25/2009 by Michael from OvertonsA:
My wheels are 2 foot diameter and the center hole was 1-1/4" (I think). You can use galvanized pipe or electrical conduit. I used electrical conduit since it was the same thickness as pipe but cheaper.Answered on 11/22/2010 by VMI 70 from Richmond va.
