Bow clip/eye Launch trolley
Morning all, hope some are out enjoying the fine weather.

Does anyone recognise this launch trolley


I have transom wheels on my Aerotec and thinking something like this might help on concrete slips.

Any thoughts or similar products much appreciated

Thanks

Tom

I’ve seen those, not seen one like this bar these pictures I found.
I’m guessing maybe someone had it made up in stainless.
For me would be perfect

Looking at the welding it's a DIY the welds haven't been polished up to any great degree the one I have the ball comes off so would be easy to make a clip to fit the hand bar on the boat

You could just cut a slot into the ball handle side for the clip to fit into with a grinder with a slitting disc on then just grid smooth

There you go £42.

Would be easy to mod. Buy the Yellow solid non puncture wheels though as the normal ones go down all the time. I have one and it is very good indeed
