INSTALLATION
- In most applications, Air-Dock boat lifts can be installed without getting into the water. This is especially nice in the northern climates where boat lifts often need to be installed and removed each winter.
- No permanent connections to the dock are required. The Air-Dock is usually held in place with lines tied to the dock (or to pilings) at the four corners. If there is no dock or piling on one or more of the corners, the lines can be tied to anchors, auger poles, or to PVC frame kits (see below).
- Air-Dock boat lifts are so portable you can take them with you if you move your boat to another location.
This may be a good solution in shallow water with minimal depth fluctuation.
Position "B" In a double boat slip; use one anchor (or auger pole) at the back corner.
Position "C" In a double boat slip where the dock is shorter than the boat, use two anchors (or auger poles) at the two back corners.
Position "D" Perpendicular to a dock or seawall, use two anchors (or auger poles) at the two back corners and the air hose extension kit (to reach the control box).
Position "E" Parallel to a dock or seawall, use two anchors (or auger poles) at the outside front and back corners.
INSTALLING WITH PVC FRAMES
PVC frames are the most versatile solution and work in deep and fluctuating waters.
Position "B" In a double Sboat slip; use the PVC Half Frame.
Position "C" In a double boat slip where the dock is shorter than the boat, use the PVC Half Frame and the dock extension kit.
Position "D" Perpendicular to a dock or seawall, use the PVC Full Frame and the air hose extension kit (to reach the control box).
Position "E" Parallel to a dock or seawall, use the PVC Full Frame.
Air-Dock frame kits are very easy to assemble and install. Most of the components are pre-assembled. (Long PVC pipes not included)
