If you own a waverunner or Jet Ski, let us tell you about the benefits of a PWC dock. Unlike stationary docks, a PWC dock is a floating dock that offers you the ease to launch your motor boat with ease. You have probably heard horror stories about boat owners trying to get on their Jet Ski and splashing into the water.
Well, there’s a technique to it that requires you to slowly swing onto your Jet Ski and then hold on to the edge of the dock until you are safely seated. You can avoid all this by simply getting a floating dock you can walk on. Usually, a PWC dock features a huge platform with decking on both sides. Your Jet Skit is parked in the space between the decking, reducing any chances of you tipping into the water.
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits a PWC dock offers:
Convenience
One of the biggest benefits of a PWC dock is the convenience it offers. Instead of tying your Jet Ski to the pier, you have a designated spot to park your PWC. Some floating docks come with a ladder, allowing you to get on and off your boat with ease.
Launching is Much Easier
When you get close to a boat dock on your jet ski, the dock lines, height, and distance of the cleats and fenders create a problem. You get confused about whether you are coming in at the right angle or not. A PWC dock usually has plenty of space, around 6 ft. in width. This offers you plenty of room for unloading and loading.
Reduced Maintenance
Since a floating dock can be easily removed from the water, it does not require much maintenance. For more ease, look for a PWC dock made of foam or plastic. Such materials do not corrode like metal or wood. This reduces the need to clean, stain and polish your dock yearly.
Versatility
Compared to fixed docks, floating docks can be configured to meet your needs. If you plan to buy another boat in the future, you can change the dock’s design to accommodate all the PECs. Moreover, a floating dock moves with water level functions, so you don’t have to worth about any accidents. Lastly, a PWC dock is easy to assemble and lightweight. Never leave your Jet Ski in the water. If your lake’s water is salty, the surface might start to corrode.
You can also custom-design a dock according to your desire. For example, you can expand the decking and add a cycling path.
There you have it ― four perfectly good reasons why you should get a PWC dock. Winter is around the corner, and if your lake freezes over, you can take out your floating dock and keep it safe under a tarp. Make sure to clean the dock before storing it and cover it properly to avoid cold cracks.
