Wrong Cat Trax?

Hey,

Bought a 8'6 Cat Trax ( http://www.murrays.com/13-1401.html) to use with my Prindle 16.

Looks like it's the wrong size for the prindle? The Catamaran rubs both tires, hence no movement...Am I doing something wrong? I guess I can drill new holes on the dolly and mount the tires closer together.

Thanks.

according to the description there should be a second hole for 8' beams

"Cat Trax axles are available in 8' or 8'6" lengths and the appropriate axle length for your boat will be shipped. The longer 8'6", 2" outside diameter, anodized aluminum axle is double-drilled to accommodate either 8' or 8'6" wide cats."

If there is not other holes I would just adjust to where you need them mark off and drill new holes. Mine just barely ride inside the inner lip of the hull when I have them sitting across the front top of my hulls just behind where the bridle attach on my P18.
