We have a 34 foot wood dock in 10 foot sections (4 foot is one section T-boning out to one side) . 4x4 support poles buried in sand support the deck in a very solid fashion. We have decided against changing this very solid wood dock for easier to remove and install sit on top or rolling dock. Weve just come to realize that we are going to have an annual cost for realigning (Michigan winters).
So heres the question.
How do I keep the side of a 22ft pontoon from being damaged.
Do I attach rubber bumpers to 4/4 poles?
I think bumpers on side of boat dont have enough clearance to stop brushing the boat edge to poles. And I also want to get people off the pontoon without crossing the Nile (too much space between edge of boat and dock).
This is a new boat that is going to be delieved later this month and Im trying to get all this settled so that I dont have trouble (or a crunched side rail).
Open to suggestions.
