Quick Tips The purpose of this section is to provide a few basic yet extremely important tips to assist you in Assembling, Launching, Driving-on, and Removing your Jet-Dock Drive-on Docking System. A. General Shipping Notes - Personal watercraft Docking Systems are typically shipped as one piece per craft. Jet boat Docking Systems, however, typically ship as four (4) pieces per craft. IMPORTANT: Note all damaged or missing freight on the freight bill and notify Jet Dock Systems, Inc. (JDSI) immediately. Final Assembly of the Docking Systems - should be done on land. If final assembly cannot be done on land due to the Docking System size, accessibility to launch site, etc., it may be done in the water in a very similar fashion. Sliding of the System on the ground may be accomplished by one person. However, lifting, launching, and removing should be accomplished with two (2) to four (4) people. Be sure to use proper body mechanics. It is important to note that the only components which float are the tall and short cubes, except for the winch and adjustable ballast cubes. All other components and tools are non-buoyant. We recommend that a safety line be tied to each tool and that extreme caution be used in handling tools and components in the proximity of the water. Non-Buoyant Cubes - includes Winch and Adjustable Ballast Cube. Pry Bar Use - In situations where tabs do not properly align, insert pry bar in adjacent tabs to properly position tabs for pin/fastener/cleat insertion. Launching of the Docking System - is routinely done over six (6) foot high sea walls, breakwalls, docks, etc. Be certain that: 1. A safety line is attached to the Dock. 2. The winch handle is positioned over the Dock surface. 3. The Dock does not land upside down. Gradually lower the System into the water in a controlled fashion. Be extremely careful when launching jet boat or similar Docking Systems with a winch pedestal - gently lower into water to prevent damage to the winch pedestal system. Do not allow the Dock to slide or pivot against or over any sharp point or corner due to the fact that a puncture may occur. It is important to note that the Docking System has its greatest structural integrity in the water and that JDSI is not responsible for damage incurred to the System during movement of the System on land. Towing - The Docking System may be towed with a watercraft to its final location. The maximum tow speed is approximately 3-5 mph. Mooring Lines - The customer is responsible for inspecting mooring lines regularly and replacing as needed with new lines of the same or larger diameter and of the same material. Installations which use the Tide Manager System must use polypropylene line only. Removal from Water - If the Dock must be removed due to weather, moving ice, etc., it is preferable to remove as one piece if it is physically possible to do so. If it is not physically possible to remove the System in one piece, disassemble into manageable parts - usually the configuration in which the Docking System was shipped - and remove. Acts of God - Remove and land-store craft if extreme or non-typical weather threatens and spring-tie the Dock or remove, depending upon the severity. Tool Use - To maintain tools used in or around water, particularly salt water, immerse in a motor oil bath after each use. 4 B. Illustrations/Photos Quick Tip 1 Tab Reference Medallion Tab Stacking Order Dot: Notes Position of Tab in stack. ie: tab 1 on top of tab 2 on top of tab 3 on top of tab 4. Quick Tip 2 Properly insert the pin in the hole and give a moderate heel kick. "Finesse" kicks are better 1 than hard ones. Always angle pin to drive toward tab 4. 2 4 3 Angle pin toward tab labeled with 4 dots. Quick Tip 3 Insert the assembly key into holes in top of the pin and lock pin into place with a 1/8th turn clockwise rotation. 1 4 To confirm the proper lock position, compare reference medallion on top of the pin 2 with reference medallion on 3 top of the cube. If they coincide and the appearance is same as Quick Tip 5, the pin is locked. Quick Tip 4 Tab Reference Medallion Connecting Pin - Locked Tab Stacking Order Dot: Notes Position of Tab in stack. ie: tab 1 on top of tab 2 on top of tab 3 on top of tab 4. 5 Quick Tip 5 Correctly inserted 1 4 and locked connecting pin detail. Properly locked pins have firm contact with 2 3 all surrounding cubes. TAB #1 TAB #2 TAB #3 TAB #4 Quick Tip 6 Incorrectly inserted and locked connecting pin detail. 1 4 Improperly locked pins most commonly miss tab 4 and “ride-up” and away from Dock 2 3 surface leaving a noticeable gap. NOTE GAP NOTE GAP TAB #1 TAB #2 TAB #3 TAB #4 6 Quick Tip 7 Standard mooring/fender line connection detail - tie a loop at one end. Pass the other end up through a fastener or tab opening and through the loop. Pull tight. Quick Tip 8 Extend line from mooring, fender, fastener or tab to cleat. Mooring / Fender Line Cleat - Tie-Offs must be secure with many locks and safety knots. 7 III. Final Assembly of your Jet Dock® A. Seaming Docks or Lanes Together Seaming 1 Lay sections on flat, hard surface (not in the water). All winches on the same side. The “bows” of each dock will be joined together, as will the “sterns” of each dock. Dock sections to be seamed shall be oriented so that the one section having open tabs is next to the other section Open tabs this dock. having loose pins. Loose pins. Loose fastener: located at stern (w/2 spacers) and bow. Seaming 2 Remove perimeter loose pins by placing assembly key in pin holes, turning 1/8th turn counterclock- 4 wise and pulling straight up. A slight rocking motion may be used while pulling up on the pins to remove. 3 Heavy duty dealer assembly key - not included in customer tool kit. Seaming 3 4 Unscrew loose fastener at bow and stern positions. Note: Fastener at stern of dock also has 2 “spacers” attached. Caution: Fasteners, bolts, spacers, pins, cleats, tools, etc. do not float! Seaming 4 The two Dock sections will 1 2 be seamed together starting from the bow and moving sternward.

  • Best Management Practices for Oregon Shipyards
    Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Best Management Practices for Oregon Shipyards September 2017 BMPs for Oregon Shipyards Alternative formats Documents can be provided upon request in an alternate format for individuals with disabilities or in a language other than English for people with limited English skills. To request a document in another format or language, call DEQ in Portland at 503-229-5696, or toll-free in Oregon at 1-800-452-4011 or email [email protected]. 2 BMPs for Oregon Shipyards Overview The ship/boat building and repair industry present a unique problem in terms of applying pollution control techniques. Although a given facility may not compare exactly with another facility in terms of repair capabilities, type and size of docks, size of vessels, and so on, there are enough similarities between facilities to describe control techniques that can be adapted to suit a specific site and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). There are several different functions that occur at ship and boat repair and manufacturing facilities. Some facilities employ a few people, while others employ many people, including various subcontractors, electricians, labors, machinists, welders, painters, sandblasters, riggers, pipe fitters and a number of administrative and managerial staff. Each of these facilities and associated shipyard services creates their own unique set of potential environmental problems. A tremendous amount of spent blast abrasive dust, old paint and used grit is generated daily. Millions of gallons of vessel discharges are piped, collected, tested, treated, recycled, transported or discharged. Air pollution, noise pollution, accumulations of solid and hazardous waste and point and non-point pollution can occur simultaneously with the variety of operations that occur at these facilities.

  • CAMA Handbook for Development in Coastal North Carolina How to Use This Guide
    Home About DCM Contact DCM CAMA Counties Search DCM CAMA Handbook for Development in Coastal North Carolina How to Use This Guide This handbook is designed to help you understand what types of projects require CAMA development permits, the development regulations you will have to follow, and how following those rules helps protect the natural resources that draw people to North Carolina's coastal counties in the first place. Although this guide discusses regulations, it is not an official statement of North Carolina coastal development regulations and may not be relied on in lieu of those regulations in undertaking coastal development. All coastal development projects subject to CAMA must be approved by the N.C. Division of Coastal Management. A list of Coastal Management offices is in Section 9 of this guide. An unofficial version of the development regulations may be found on the Division of Coastal Management Web site at http://dcm2.enr.state.nc.us. You may obtain an official copy of the regulations from the Office of Administrative Hearings at 919-733-2691. Introduction The North Carolina coast may seem indestructible, but it's not. Left unmanaged, development around our state's sounds, rivers and beaches can destroy the very ecological, aesthetic and economic features that draw people to our shore. In 1972, Congress passed the Coastal Zone Management Act, which encouraged states to keep our coasts healthy by establishing programs to manage, protect and promote our country's fragile coastal resources. Two years later, the North Carolina General Assembly passed the landmark Coastal Area Management Act, known as CAMA.

  • Maritime and Naval Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Maritime and Naval Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. England has the longest coastline in relation to its land mass in Europe: nowhere is very far from the sea.
