Docking Personal Watercraft — Special Considerations

Docking Personal Watercraft is simple and straightforward. The main issue to be aware of is that your PWC does not have
power when the drive is out of the water. The plastic the V-Berth is constructed of allows the PWC to slide up the dock. Take
special care to not apply excessive throttle and “jump” your PWC up on the dock. Itis better and safer to not get the PWC all the
way on the dock the first few times, than to give too much power.

Depending on your watercraft, it may be necessary to add water to the stern floats to lower the entry point. The normal position
for the stern of the dock is set so that you must slow down before driving up the dock. If your craft has an extremely low rub rail
and the dock needs to be adjusted - Please contact VersaDock for additional instructions.

Docking Boats with Jet Drives - Special Considerations

Docking a Jet Drive boat is simple and straightforward. The same issue applies as with PWCs in that you need to be aware that
your boat does not have power when the drive is out of the water. The plastic the V-Berth is constructed of allows the PWC to
slide up the dock. Take special care to not apply excessive throttle and “jump” your PWC up on the dock. It is better and safer to
not get the PWC all the way on the dock the first few times, than to give too much power.

Your V-Berth comes with 5 V-Floats configured at the stem so that the stem floats are lower and the drive unit and stepped tran-
som cannot catch on any of the floats when backing off the dock. Special care must be given to approach the V-Berth slowly and
keep the boat centered in the main V-Berth channel.

To facilitate getting the boat all the way up the dock and out of the water, your system comes with a winch. Drive the boat up the
dock as far as you can get it safely and then attach the winch to the bow eye and crank the boat a little further up the dock, if nec-
essary, to keep the drive unit out of the water. THE WINCH IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED AS A “TIE-DOWN” POINT!

Docking Boats with Outboard and I/O Drives — Special Considerations

The V-Berth, when configured for boats with outboard and inboard/outboard drives, comes standard with a Drive Notch. The
Drive Notch facilitates the dry storage of the entire craft including the rear drive unit on your craft. This also acts as a motor stop.

1. Your V-Berth comes with 5 V-Floats configured at the stem so that the
stern floats are lower and the drive unit and a stepped transom cannot
catch on any of the floats when backing off the dock. This also allows
any under boat fittings such as a live well intake, depth sounder fitting
or speedometer pitot to not come in contact with the V-Berth dock.
Special care must be given to approach the V-Berth slowly and keep
the boat centered in the main V-Berth channel.
