MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The only maintenance that the Air-Dock requires is cleaning at the end of the season if the Air-Dock is removed from the water. Algae grows on the Air-Dock but does not stick to it like it sticks to your boat. Some algae may grow on the top surface while the boat is off of the Air-Dock however, this algae does not transfer onto the boat hull. The Air-Dock can be cleaned with a brush and a mild soap. The Air-Dock can also be cleaned with a pressure sprayer such as those found at a self-serve car wash.
STORAGE
Simply remove the Air-Dock from the water and disconnect the three air hoses. The air chambers can be separated if necessary for easier transporting. After cleaning and drying, simply roll the Air-Dock and store it in a clean dry place such as a garage or even inside your boat. Do not "double fold" (such as folding a flag or a blanket) for long periods of time
TIP: For easier removal, separate the air chambers and inflate each one fully before removing from the water. Then allow to deflate or remove the air more quickly with a vacuum cleaner.
REPAIRING
Small cuts in the Air-Dock can be easily repaired by gluing on a patch. Repair kits are available from Air-Dock. If a major repair is necessary on one of the air chambers, it can be separated from the others and sent back to the Air-Dock factory for repair.
