Attaching to a Fixed Dock
This System Must Not Be Used if There is a Possibility of the Water Level
Rising to Within 15” of the Bottom of the Pipe Brackets. In this case, contact
your supplier for alternative instructions.
It is essential that the poles on the fixed dock are both Parallel and Upright. If the poles are
not parallel then the Xpress could bind as the water rises and falls, which could cause
damage or loss to the Xpress, the watercraft or injury to persons.
It will be necessary to use 2 lengths of 2” schedule 40 Galvanized Pipe that are at least 24”
longer than the water depth when measured from the top of the Dock.
After installing the Dock Brackets, position the
Xpress
under the Dock Brackets as shown and slide
the two lengths of pipe through the dock bracket and the
Xpress
brackets ensuring they are upright and parallel.
Drive the pipes in to the lake bed to anchor them. It may
be preferable but not essential to leave the Pipes long
enough to form a handle to assist in accessing the
Xpress
. Two pipe caps are supplied in the kit for this
option.
Tighten the locking screws
on the Dock Brackets. Drill a
5/16” hole through the pipe
using the holes in the bracket
as a guide. (Hint: drill two
separate holes, one from
each side). Fasten with 4” x
¼” bolt and nut.
