Jet Dock Floating Dock System - FAQ

>> Back to FAQs

Q. With regards to the installation of the floating dock:

  1. Do I have to put all the parts together if it is shipped to me?
  2. Is it hard to assemble by myself?
  3. How is the dock moored and secured on site?
  4. Can the dock be reconfigured should I decide to change the type of watercraft I have?
  5. How easy is it to change the dock as my boating needs change?
  6. 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.
