How to set up an inflatable floating dock

Inflating, anchoring and boarding an inflatable dock platform.

Harborwright sells the part only — we don't install it. These are general steps; your boat and the maker's manual come first. If you're not sure, have a marine shop fit it.

Safety: It's not a life-saving device. Supervise swimmers, keep children in life jackets, and stay within the listed capacity.

Steps

  1. Unroll the dock on a clean, smooth surface away from sharp objects.
  2. Inflate with the included hand pump to the pressure shown on the gauge and in the manual.
  3. Tie the nylon rope to the D-rings and anchor or tie off the dock so it can't drift.
  4. Clip the soft ladder to the handles before anyone climbs on.
  5. To store it, rinse, dry fully, deflate through the valve, roll it and pack it in the bag.

Follow the maker's manual for your exact model first — it's linked with each part below.
