Docking and leaving in a slip

[Pipeandwire]

Hey guys, I’ve had my ski for years and have either been able to beach it or pull it on a floating dock during use for the weekend. I’m now going to be leaving it at a boat slip permanently, no lift. just wonder what u guys would suggest or any opinions on anything I can prepare for in doing so. I’m going to be putting in a battery disconnect, never took water in before so don’t know if I need to put a bilge in. Obviously some bumpers, but how loose should I leave it for rise or fall in water? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Leaving it in the water? Big mistake. See your owner's manual.

This is why I’m asking, so your saying no good

I'm not saying it. BRP states in the owner's manual not to leave your ski parked in the water.

I had no idea, thanks for the info I’m already looking into a lift or floating dock. How far out of the water should the ski be if on a lift

Any jetski at my marina is on a plastic floating dock - so to answer your question - all the way out.

Those floating docks are pretty neat.

Good luck!

Besides all that the hull gets a ton of crud on it leaving it in the water. I put a blige pump on my skis but leave it disconnected. If I have to leave it on the water overnight, I check it a few times and before bed. I've only done that for a few days one time. I don't like any water in my ski. Good Luck.

I ended up buying a floating dock which is sitting in my driveway. Too late to pay for 1/2 a season. Thanks for all the help
