Boat Lifts and Docks for Iced-In Locations

Rivers and lakes that freeze present unique challenges for floating docks and boat lifts. Stationary docking structures are often destroyed during winter ice conditions. Jet Dock's shallow-drafting, durable modules help solve ice problems.

Most cold climate customers leave their Jet Dock boat docks and PWC lifts in ice for the winter. So long as you do not have "moving" ice that can tear the dock away or bang it up against another structure, the Jet Dock is perfectly fine to leave iced-in for the winter. Unlike mechanical lifts, your Jet Dock does not have to be removed and land stored during the winter. This saves an immense amount of time and aggravation for the cold-climate boater.

Be sure to use common sense. Remove and winterize your watercraft and store it away during the off-season. And untie yourJet Dock from rigid moorings (PDF) or remove the moorings altogether. Spring-tie your Jet Dock freely so it does not rub up against other structures, and do not leave the Jet Dock in locations where moving ice can tear it away and cause damage.

For most marina boat slips and quiet water areas, go ahead and leave your Jet Dock in the ice -- and say "hello" to it in the Spring. It will be there waiting for you!
