Sealegs has been specifically designed and developed to take all
the hassle out of the boat launching and retrieval process.
The Sealegs system consists of motorised, retractable and steerable
wheels which are fitted to specially designed 6.1m boats to give
users a fully integrated, turn-key package. The Sealegs system works
by having powerful motorised wheels which give a user variable speed
of 0-10km/h (forward and reverse) powered by an on-board 16hp Honda
driven hydraulic power-pack.
A Sealegs boat can be driven from a storage location, down a boat
ramp or beach and into the water - all with the occupants staying in
the boat and remaining completely dry!. Once in the water, the
Sealegs wheels are easily retracted into the "UP" position and are
completely out of the water. The boat is then driven and used as
normal. When approaching land, the Sealegs wheels are lowered into
the "DOWN" position whilst still moving in the water.
It is then simply a matter of trolling towards the beach and the
Sealegs powerful motorised wheels touch the bottom and drive the
boat up onto land. The occupants can then disembark, totally dry and
safe.
The Sealegs system utilises all submersible components and is Salt
Water ready
