WHEEL KIT FOR ANGLERS
A fishing kayak could get heavy after all the fishing and safety equipment and gear are
loaded into the kayak. It becomes difficult to move the kayak on the beach unless you
have wheels under it. Also, stability is very important to fishing kayaks because the
operator will need to have access to all storage compartments and do several things at
the same time. He/she may even need to move to different parts of the kayak.
The Walker Bay Wheel Kit can help in both aspects. Equipped with balloon style tires
and an easy to install/remove system, the Wheel Kit comes in handy no matter you are
on shore, or paddling in water.
The Wheel Kit comes with 3 parts: 2
balloon wheels, and an aluminum axle.
Inflate the wheels to the correct air
pressure (see air pressure information on
the wheels) with a bicycle pump.
Push the axle through both lower wheel
holders until it is centered. It should be a
tight fit.
Install the wheels onto the axle on both
sides, by pushing down the push button
on the axle. The push buttons will hold
the wheel in place. The wheels have
specific rotation directions, so make sure
that you install the one marked “right” on
the right side, and “left” on the left side.
When ready to get into water, the wheels
at the lower position must be changed to
the higher position, or the kayak would be
extremely slow. To do this, remove the
wheel on the end without the axle ring.

To install the wheel kit when you are on
beach, insert the aluminum axle into the
lower set of wheel holders. Start with the
end without the ring.
Do not over-inflate the wheels, or the tires could be stretched too thin and be
prone to punctures.
Only the lower wheel holders could provide a high enough clearance for you to
pull the kayak without causing damage to the bottom of the kayak. Do not try to
pull the kayak with the wheels installed on the upper wheel holders.
