Boating during cold winter months can present big challenges for boaters, especially when rivers and lakes freeze over in subzero temperatures. Finding a dependable boat dock for lakes that freeze and then docking your boat on the frozen water can be extremely challenging since traditional stationary lifts and docks are often destroyed during icy conditions. Fortunately, Jet Dock's winter boat dock options provide shallow-drafting, durable modules that can help solve ice problems and cold weather challenges with ease.
Most cold climate customers leave their Jet Dock winter boat docks and PWC lifts in ice for the winter. So long as you do not have "moving" ice that can tear the dock away or bang it up against another structure, the Jet Dock is perfectly fine to leave iced-in during winter weather. Unlike mechanical lifts, our winter boat lifts do not have to be removed and land stored during the winter. For cold water boating enthusiasts, Jet Dock cold weather boat lifts save a lot of time and money during the winter months.
Typically, the best option is to remove and winterize your boating equipment if you’re not planning to use it once cold temperatures hit. If you choose to store your floating dock for winter indoors, it’s extremely easy to uninstall. Unlike traditional boat lifts, Jet Docks don’t have mechanical or moving parts and don’t require any electrical or permanent hardware. You can simply untie your winter boat lift from rigid moorings or remove the moorings altogether. Then, spring-tie your Jet Dock freely so it does not rub up against other structures, and do not leave the Jet Dock in locations where moving ice can tear it away and cause damage.
For most marina boat slips and quiet water areas, go ahead and leave your Jet Dock in the ice and say "hello" to it in the Spring. Your durable dock that can stay in ice will be there waiting for you!
