Find of the month

I have been thinking about putting transom wheels on my old Zodiac Futura IIc and I have been reading up on my options, which seems to be limited given the weight of this boat and motor. I knew Zodiac made specific transom wheels for these boats but never did I expect to find any. Then I saw an add on marketplace the other day of what looked like decent transom wheels and a trolley. To my surprise this was Zodiac kit Z61110 and the matching front trolley. All in great shape. Needless to say I paid the asking price of 60 EUR + 20 shipping in a hurry! The gentleman knew exactly what he had but was happy to pass it on to another Zodiac user.

I said, unfortunately I'm missing one of the little attachment buttons on the transom of my boat. He said, don't worry I have included those as well!

There may be better gear to be had today than this old stuff but I'm very happy I found this. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Now I just need to stumble upon that fancy Zodiac fuel bladder.

Great find! I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a set of these and Would have yanked them if I'd seen them first.

Yes you've done well. If you don't need swing up wheels (we don't) these Zodiacs are the gold standard ones... and the front trolley is rarely seen. Not surprising when I'm sure its retail was £250 or £350.
