Q. With regards to the installation
of the floating dock:
- Do I have to put all the parts
together if it is shipped to me?
- Is it hard to
assemble by myself?
- How is the dock moored and
secured on site?
- Can the dock be reconfigured should
I decide to change the type of watercraft I have?
- How easy is it to change the
dock as my boating needs change?
- Who do I contact
in the event I wanted to reconfigure my existing
dock?
A. Depending on the location of
your floating dock site, we are happy to install your
dock for you (there is an installation
charge). Alternatively,
we can ship your dock to you pre-assembled, which
you connect together and install in-water.
For example,
it takes less than thirty minutes to "seam"
two PWC docks together.
The assembly
process is fast and straightforward in addition
to being well documented in the Owner's Manual, instruction
sheets and our instructional video. While it is not
impossible for a person to assemble a Jet Dock by him
or herself, having another person to assist you with
assembly and installation is optimal.
The Jet Dock is moored in several ways,
depending on your current dock situation:
-
Floating dock- hard
tie the Jet Dock right to your dock in the same
manner you would tie your watercraft up; both
structures will float up and down together.
-
Stationary dock (with
regularly fluctuating water levels)- our tide
manager rigid mooring system, which consists of
vertically placed, galvanized steel poles encapsulated
in pvc sleeves and mounting brackets at the top
of those poles, is mounted to your existing dock
and the Jet Dock is then tethered to the poles;
this system allows the dock to move uninhibited
and right along with the up and down with your
water levels.
-
Stationary dock (with
constant water levels)- hard tie (same approach
as if it were a floating dock)
-
No existing
dock- we have standalone
mooring modules whereby we insert a sleeve/shaft
into the Jet Dock cube and place our tide manager
pole through the opening. Our mooring poles
are then driven directly into the sea floor.
These installations require calm, shallow waters
(less than 6') with a minimal amount of change
in the water level (less than 2-3' fluctuation).
Consult with a Jet Dock sales associate
for assistance regarding the type of mooring for your
specific installation.
One of the true beauties of the Jet Dock
is that it can be reconfigured at a moment's notice.
A PWC dock can become a 16' boat dock which can become
a 26' boat dock in an afternoon's work. Add-ons to
your existing PWC dock can be done by yourself.
In
general, floating dock reconfigurations will
take longer than PWC dock reconfigurations. A good
rule of thumb is to simply contact
our corporate office or the local
dealer that assisted you regarding reconfiguration
matters.
