CONDITION:
PWC won
’
t stay on the HydroPort when I pull onto the platform
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
A.
Coming in too fast
B.
The PWC
’
s weight is too far to the rear of the HydroPort
C.
Wheel Locations
CORRECTION:
A.
Try to just touch the bow of the PWC to the entry point and gently throttle on. When a
PWC rides up on the bow bumper it slides back down and that momentum can take the
PWC off of the HydroPort.
B.
Adjust the wheels so that the forward wheels are wider than the wheels at the rear. This
will cause the front of the PWC to sit lower than the rear. This will help the PWC stay on
the HydroPort; however, it may make unloading a little more difficult.
C.
If using the floating mooring bracket, the mounting position can be moved down one
hole in the bracket, which will change the way the PWC sits on the platform.
CONDITION:
PWC won
’
t slide off the HydroPort
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
A.
The PWC
’
s weight is too far forward
B.
Wheel Locations
C.
The level of the port is leaning forward when the PWC is on the port
CORRECTION:
A.
Adjust the wheels so that the forward wheels are narrower than the wheels at the rear.
This will cause the front of the PWC to sit higher on the port. This will help the PWC roll
off easier; however, it may make loading a little more difficult.
B.
If using the floating mooring bracket, the mounting position can be moved up one hole
in the bracket, which will change the way the PWC sits on the platform. The effects are
similar to changing the wheel position.
C.
Additional wheel and axle sets can be purchased to put in the other wheel pocket
locations. This will reduce the weight per wheel, making the PWC easier to roll.
