Hi All ,

Walker Bay's 8 Foot has a little wheel so you can roll your tender
down to the water, but it lasts less than a mile before the nylon
flanged bearings rotate causing wear to the polyproplene hull material.
Resulting in holes in hull become slots causing the wheel to bottom on
hull pocket. This shows what cost reductions and lack of testing can do
to destroy a product. The company seems to be keeping the President of
Walker Bay a Jeff Larson in the dark (the old mushroom procedure). You
can't reach him by phone, he is in a meeting, but production will talk
to
you, dealers don't know about any kit available.
