If you have a waterfront home, and you own jet skis, you owe it to yourself to invest in jet ski docks. Most people know that docks make life much easier when they own a boat. However, they don't necessarily know that a jet ski dock can also make life easier. If you don't own at least one jet ski dock yet, now's the time to make the investment. This is especially important if you spend a lot of time on the water. Read the list below to learn about four reasons to invest in a floating dock for your jet skis.
Reduces Trailer and Ramp Complications
If you're still using a trailer and ramp system to load and launch your jet skis, you should consider a change. Trailers and ramps can create quite a few issues, especially where your jet skis are concerned. First, they increase the time it takes to load and launch your jet skis. Second, they're cumbersome to navigate. Finally, they increase the risk for jet ski damage. Floating jet ski docks eliminate all of those issues because they allow you to leave your jet skis in the water.
Prevents Unwanted Drifting
If you usually tether your jet skis to your existing boat dock, you might notice that they do some drifting. That's because jet skis aren't designed to be tethered to boat docks. Unwanted drifting can cause damage to your jet skis, and it can also make getting on and off the jet ski more difficult. That's where a floating jet ski dock comes in handy. One of the benefits of floating jet ski docks is that they hold the jet skis in place, making it easier to get on and off and reducing the risk for abrasion and impact damage.
Allows for Frequent Inspections
If you're new to jet ski ownership, you might not realise that jet skis need to be inspected after each use. Frequent inspections are necessary for identifying oil and fuel leaks, hull damage, and clogged ports. Ports can become clogged from debris, especially plastic bags that might be in the water. Unfortunately, inspections aren't easy to accomplish, especially when the jet skis aren't fastened securely, which is why you need a floating dock. Your dock will hold your jet skis in place so that they can be inspected after each use.
Provides Safe Storage Between Uses
Finally, if you want a better way to store your jet skis between uses, invest in a floating dock. One of the great things about floating jet ski docks is that they allow you to keep your jet skis on the water, without the risks often associated with water storage, such as exposure to chemicals.
