Landing Gear mounts on top of the kayak, so you never flip the boat to fit wheels, and it gives enough ground clearance to keep the rudder from dragging. Gear grooves take track-mount accessories, and the included Shoalie riser lets you mount a tackle box or BlackPak above or below the spacer bar.

Good to know

  • Do not leave the wheels deployed in storage; Boonedox says it can flat-spot the tires and stress the hull.
  • The kit includes backing plates, so plan for hatch access inside the hull when you mount it.

KayakDIY take: Wheels that live on the boat are a build-once upgrade I like for solo launches. For more rigging ideas, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
