Expert Answers about Boat Dock Ladders
- Can the JIF Marine Floating Dock Lift Ladder Be Used on a Boat
- You may be able to make the Jif Marine Floating Dock Lift Ladder - 5 Steps - 750 lbs - Aluminum - 4" Deep Step # JIF49FR work for your application but I cannot advise trimming the mounting brackets as those are designed to help counteract the weight put on the ladder; additionally cutting the brackets would void any warranty on the ladder as well.
When it comes to the cables, those are designed to attach to the brackets and cannot be easily detached, but you might be able to devise an...

- The Taylor Made StepSafe Dock Steps - Triple - 25-1/2" Tall - 300 lbs - White # TM85ZR is the largest that we currently carry in this style. I may have a few other options that will work for you, but they will be quite a bit different.
The first alternate will be a ladder, like the Jif Marine Telescoping Gunwale Hook Ladder - 4 Steps - 47" Tall - 400 lbs - Stainless Steel # JIF53FR. This would be long enough for you, but with it being a gunwale style connection, there will need to be a...

OverHaul HD Ladder Racks like part # Y01151-5855 have a T-slot for loading accessories. The DockGrip uses this T-slot, so they are perfectly compatible.

- For 2 kayaks on a 2015 Ford F-150, I recommend using the TracRac Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB or the sliding rack # TH43002XT-501 or # TH43002XT-000 depending on your bed length. The sliding systems will give you better support for your kayaks.

view full answer... - Can the Taylor Made Dock Wheel Bumper Be Mounted On Bottom of Dock
- I reached out to Taylor made and although you can mount the Taylor Made Dock Wheel Bumper # 3691072 on the top of your dock, you cannot mount it upside down on the bottom. Instead, I recommend using the Taylor Made Low-Profile Boat Guide Wheel for 1-1/2" Diameter Dock Pipes - PVC # 3691214. This guide wheel installs on 1-1/2" dock pipes and can be stacked to accommodate larger boats if need be.

view full answer... - Can Boat Winch be Mounted on a Dock
- Sure, you can mount a boat winch on your dock if you like, you just need to make sure you mount it on a secure place on your dock that you are confident can hold the weight, which shouldn't be an issue.
As for the winch, it depends on how heavy your boat is and how far you are winching it in. For a short distance, the Boat-size-to-winch capacity is 2-to-1 but longer distances decrease that. A 12 foot fiberglass boat might weigh anywhere from 500 lb to 1,000 lbs so I recommend a 2,500...

- The most common mounting location of the LED Pontoon and Fishing Boat Docking Lights part # TN23ZR on a pontoon boat is on top of the deck at the outside corners facing out.

view full answer... - Does Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier Fit Thule XSporter Pro Ladder Rack
- I checked with Thule to verify for you, and yes, the XSporter Pro will allow you to mount the Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH896.
The DockGlide # TH896 will fit right on the XSporter Pro ladder rack, and is a really nice choice for a kayak carrier. I like it because not only does it come with tie-downs so you don't have to buy those separately, but also because it has felt lining on the rear saddles which make loading your kayak into the carrier really easy.

view full answer... - Will Taylor Made Foam Dock Bumper 36946011 Stabilize Floating Dock
- A foam dock bumper such as the Taylor Made Foam Dock Bumper - Edge Mount - 36" Long x 5" Tall x 3-1/4" Thick # 36946011 you asked about will do a wonderful job of protecting your boat from your floating dock, but it isn't going to do much, if anything at all, in regards to stabilizing it. The best way to do that is going to be with some type of anchor system instead.
The bumper will be a nice addition to your dock to keep your boat in great shape though, and is simple to install with its...

view full answer... - Best Rear Loading Kayak Carrier to Fit Adarac Ladder Rack Crossbars
- The Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier # TH896 fits crossbars up to 4" wide x 1-1/2" tall. Since the crossbars on your Adarac ladder rack are 1-1/2" square they fall into the max dimensions of the DockGlide so it should fit.
With that being said, I tend to operate under the "better safe than sorry" banner so since you'll be at the max for the DockGlide I recommend checking out the Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier # Y04074 as an alternative. This is a rear loading setup that actually uses rollers...
