Pontoon Boat Wheel Bracket

Back in 2009, I guess I made and gave away around fifty of these simple brackets to guys on this board. The amazing thing is this cheap little aluminum bracket is still working today as it did when I built it.

Here's my old post text...

I added this simple bracket to the rear seat crossbar on my Outcast toon. Use the foot pegs as handle bars and roll the toon backwards to the water.

All you need is a bracket, and a used bicycle front yoke with a 16" wheel. I got mine at Goodwill for $5.

If you can roll a wheelbarrow, you can transport your toon and gear to the water with ease.

If anyone needs a bracket, I'll build you one free.... as I have time.

What a generous offer X's 2, Riverman! I would love one this time around, when you get a chance. Thansk so much!

I'll send you one gladly... just PM me your address when you have time. Thanks

Holy cow, that's a great little idea Riverman! If you're offering to make more, I'd sure love one.

Simply send me your address.... thanks

Wow, thanks. I missed the last offer. Humm, my neighborhood kids have broken bikes laying around.

I would love to have one

Thanks Ron

Really nice offer from you! If you could spare another, I would like to have one as well.

No problem guys, but I have to have your address by PM to send you one.

I'll second the generosity of this offer. If your still up for building one, I would love one as well. I'm sending you a PM.

NOTE: I only have time to fab a few of these brackets each week, a heavy work schedule comes first.

Therefore, I promise that everyone that has PM'ed me will receive yours, but it may be late September before everyone gets theirs that have asked so far.

Could you please post a picture of the other side, I would like to make one myself.
Thanks Derek

The other side... It's only a piece of aluminum thats about 6 inches long and 1/4" thick. The weld has to be strong to hold though.

I'd love to get one if the offer is still open. Just sent you a message.

I've been sick and feeling pretty bad lately... I will get everyone's out as promised, but it may be October now before they begin to arrive to anyone. I only build a couple a week, but they are free, and as I have time. Thanks

Hope you get well soon Riverman!

PM sent

River an. Thanks again from years ago.

Hey Flyfishn... hope you are doing well, I've had some health problems but that's part of being over the hill I guess.

Yep, I'm finally shipping the first six brackets out next Monday to the west coast.
