Summary of Contents for ShoreDocker SD1200
- Page 1 Remember that with a little planning you may customize this kit to work perfectly for you situation. The Model SD1200 is designed for boats up to 1200 lbs. and personal watercraft (PWCs, Jet Skis etc).** The Model SD2000 is designed for boats up to 2000 Lbs.
- Page 2 First you will build the basic framework. STEP 1: DETERMINE THE LENGTH AND LUMBER DIMENSIONS NEEDED. You will likely want to store your watercraft all the way out of the water and away from any wave action. Also remember that a few feet of the ramp will extend into the water so that the rollers first engage the hull below the bow.
- Page 3 STEP 4: INSTALL THE WINCH SYSTEM. Referring to the Figures below, from 4” x 4” lumber, cut the winch post base and the winch post. It is recommended to leave the post extra long for now and cut the top off later.
- Page 4 STEP 5: INSTALL THE WINCH AND CABLE AS SHOWN IN THE FIGURE BELOW. The eventual height of the winch will be determined after you crank the boat up for the first time. For now, use your best judgment and maybe you’ll be lucky! If you have no idea, try making the top of the winch 32 – 36 inches form the bottom of the post.
- Page 5 JOINING SIDE RAILS END-TO-END IMPORTANT: When joining side rails end-to-end, they should be kept in line with each other. If you form an angle that makes a “valley” the boat transom will not bass over the rollers behind it. If the angle forms a “crest”, the weight if the entire boat will fall upon a single pair or row of rollers as the center of gravity pivots over the crest.
- Page 6 The manufacturer warrants for a period of one year from the date of purchase, the workmanship of all parts. The warranty is limited to the repair and/or replacement of parts ShoreDocker parts only. The manufacturer does not warrant the suitability of this product for any specific or general application.
