Instructions / Assembly

STEP 4: Install roller assemblies as shown. Ass e mb le as shown in the figures below. Consider the following criteria
when selecting the location of the roller a ss e mb lie s :
a. Assemblies should obviously be in pairs, i.e. identical location on both the right and left r ail .
b. The first pair (from the water end of the ramp) should be close to the water end of the r ail .
c. Roller assembly pairs should be spaced more closely together where watercraft weight is greater. Pay
par tic u la r attention those areas below the motor. If you have constructed a ramp with extended length be a war e
that a heavy stern may pass over several feet of the ramp. Additional roller assemblies are available for
pur c h a s e .
d. Generally speaking, your watercraft will be totally supported over the aft 2/3s to 3/4s of the hull. This i s
because the bow starts sloping upward and also the weight of the motor results in a center of gravity more
t ow a rd the s te rn.
e. Use the template to mark the hole locations and drill small pilot holes, followed by a
3/8” or slightly larger hole. Try to drill at a perpendicular angle to the face of the board. Many drills come
with a squar e angle gu i de.

ATTACHING SUPPORTING LEGS
!
· Concrete Blocks work best for supporting or “leveling” your r a mp.
· Extra long cross members can help make the ramp more s t ab l e.
· Keep leg height to a minimum. Shore Docker is not responsible for customized designs. Be s a fe!
· Keep legs VERTICAL TO THE HORIZON regardless of the ramp a ng le .
