You will need to know two dimensions prior to adjusting and loading your boat onto the Wheeleez® Boat Dolly:

1. Beam – Measure the beam.  You will use this dimension to determine the distance between the Upright Stanchion Rollers. 
2. Length – Measure the length of the boat and note the center or middle.  You will use this dimension to estimate the Center of Gravity (CG)*.

#1 - Adjust Boat Dolly width using the Wire Lock Pins. 

• After you determined the beam of your boat, adjust the Upright Stanchions so that your boat will rest between the Upright Rollers, NOT on them.
• Secure Hull Cross Strap prior to loading boat onto the dolly.

#2 - Adjust Boat Dolly length using the Wire Lock Pins.  Bolts, washers and nuts are used for the Bow Stop Roller.

• Determine boat’s CG:  Pull boat onto dolly until it balances on the Hull Cross Strap - this is the CG for your boat.  

* NOTE: The CG is not necessarily the ‘center’ or ‘middle’ of the boat, however, the measurement made earlier is a fair estimate and a good starting point.

• Adjust dolly length so that your boat rests against the Bow Stop Bumper.
• Move the Bow Stop Roller to a position that best supports your boat.
• If tongue weight is heavy, shorten dolly length to move the CG aft.  
• If tongue weight is light, lengthen the dolly to move the CG forward.

#3 - Adjust Boat Dolly height using bolts, washers and nuts.

• Adjust the Upright Stanchions so that your boat has several inches of clearance above the Axle Cross Beam when loaded.

NOTE:  The Hull Cross Strap is a tightly woven nylon, but may stretch slightly over time.  Check for proper installation and support prior to each use.
