Very. They remove the need for docking and trailering, and significantly reduce risks around changing conditions, tides, and loading or unloading.

Learning and understanding the capability of the wheel system comes with practice. We provide guidance and practical tips to help you recover from challenging situations—for example, lowering the boat onto the hull, reducing tyre pressure, and using recovery boards such as Maxtrax on soft ground if necessary.

In most cases, no. Some owners choose to keep a trailer for long‑distance transport, but it’s not required for day‑to‑day use.

No, provided the system is properly rinsed, maintained, and serviced as recommended after saltwater use.
