Installation
Storage
When storing the Connect-A-Dock outside,
the walking surface of the dock needs to
face up. If stored upside down, water can
get inside the docks through vent holes
that allow air expansion.
Cleaning
For low maintenance cleaning use a stiff
broom or brush with a garden hose. A
pressure washer with no heat can also
be used. When using soap, use an
environmentally safe product.
Stainless Steel
Connect-A-Dock products use marine grade stainless steel for stainless
steel metal components. Stainless steel may stain, discolor or attain an
adhering layer of grime under normal service, and, especially, when
used in salt water conditions. Any contamination of the metal surface by
dirt, or other material, can reduce corrosion protection. Some corrosion
can also occur when stainless steel comes in contact with dissimilar
metals. The removal of dirt, grime and surface stains that occurs during
normal handling and exposure to the elements is essential for optimum
corrosion resistance to prevent surface staining (corrosion) or pitting.
Dirt, grime and surface stains that occur during normal use and
exposure to the elements should be cleaned with warm water with or
without a gentle detergent, soap or ammonia. (Caution, do not use
ammonia near anodized aluminum). Persistent stains can be removed
with mild non-scratching abrasive powders such as typical household
cleaners used with warm water, bristle brush, sponge or clean cloth
followed by a rinse with clean water and wiped dry. Stubborn stains can
be removed by using a damp cloth and a commercial stainless steel
cleaner and polish, rubbing lightly in the direction of the polish lines on
the stainless steel, then rinsing with clean water and wiping dry.

The purpose of the cleat is to provide an area on the PWC Port to
temporarily tie off another PWC, tie down a cover or other similar
light duty tasks. The cleat is not designed to anchor the PWC Port or
to tie two units together. If two units are to be tied/attached together
there is a Side-by-Side Kit designed for that specific purpose. In
addition, there are various anchoring options available so the cleat
should never be used for this purpose.
