Will the Foldawheel PU999 handle the grade of the gangway of a cruise ship when embarking?
634221
After testing my Foldawheel on various surfaces and inclines, I can say with reasonable confidence that this chair will handle any SMOOTH incline intended for pedestrians. Although I have no personal experience, I imagine a gangway with a RIBBED SURFACE would pose a challenge for any wheelchair or scooter, including the Foldawheel. For this reason, I recommend you research the gangway specifications i.e. surface, grade, of your intended cruise ship. Happy sailing.

We haven't used it on a cruise, but I don't see there being a problem with the grade of the gangway for most ships in most ports. There could be a problem in certain ports at high tide, but for the most part I don't see a problem.

I'm sorry I have no idea I just know that is a great chair you're able to carry it easy to fold

Not sure. I used it to apply kevlar skid plates to my royalex canoe. I had deep gouges but no cracks. Good luck.

Jim, my family and I have been boating for nearly 30 yrs. We have gone through more tubes that I want to count. This tube can handle any type of water condition. Actually the rougher the better, if they like jumping. It is very stable and almost to stable. You really have to go out of your way to flip it. I have taken my older boys around tight turns doing 35 mph and it won't flip. You and your family will enjoy it. Have fun,Don

YES. We have been using it in our boat galley for many years. It works fine. Anchor it down if you are in motion. We made a device out of metal plumbing strap to anchor ours down, as the boat is always in motion, even when docked. Happy Travelling.

Yes. I believe it would. I don't know if there is a weight rating but I've had a paper roll and 2 fabric ones on there and it doesn't bow at all. Very sturdy.

I am very happy with the tabs on my boat. They work great as advertised. It gets on plane with no bow rise at all and instantly. Also I have a 19ft aluminum Starcraft and it has completely eliminated any proposing. There are some information video's on the Nauticus web site that may help you as well.

It will probably depend on what size weight you use. The unit itself is not that heavy but I use a 6lb weight and find that I need a 10lb to get the line down further with less 'blowback'. You may need to reinforce the rail to use any downrigger on a pontoon boat.

I have a 21' boat with a 5 liter V-8 which weighs about 5,000 lbs, and I use this dolly to maneuver it into it's spot on the carport. My surface is concrete, not asphalt. With that in mind, I have no problem getting the boat into place. You don't have to worry about tongue weight with that caster wheel unless you are going to try to roll over grass or dirt. The only real difficulty occurs when I have to turn the boat because the trailer has dual axles and the wheels like to go only in a straight line.

The site is sloped but I have been able to rack the slide off the site. It's not ideal but it will work.

I don't think it matters how broad the vessel is but it shouldn't be too shallow as it works best with an up and down motion.

Yes, it will. I have a 20" planer and it does it very we'll. Stable all the way to each end.

Should have no problem. As long as you order the right height to match with your gunnels, you should be fine. I installed a smaller one on a 15' runabout we took to the Outer Banks. It worked great. Just measure from the gunnels to a comfortable height above your head, and then width, and you're good.

No. Get a short shaft engine and use a 4 blade prop for such a short boat, or a double-cupped stainless prop. I ran a 60 on my 13 foot Whaler with the SS double-cupped prop and it was great. A long shaft motor will just not be lifted high enough, unless you mount the mini jacker top edge above the transom edge which not only looks crappy it is less secure, and if you even hydraulically jack plated it you'd make the rig less stable raising the weight in the rear that high. Remember an 11 ft. boat going about 20+ is not very stable to begin with. Wrong approach in my opinion--sorry. And I'm a bit of a daredevil in some things. Good luck.

I can't be sure, mine sis in my toIt does lock securely in the upright position, but mine is in my toy hauler, can't say how it will work in a boat.

It is rated at 600lb tongue weight. I pull a 22 ft pontoon party barge with no problems. Just make sure its torqued correctly. If in doubt go with class IV.

not sure of grade but the u shaped bracket is in contact with the powder coated housing, you would probably want to slip in a couple fibre washers for a marine environment.

It would be stable enough, the only issue is water coming over the bow if it's rough. The boat doesn't have a drain plug in the floor.
