ShorePort/PolyDock Section Troubleshooting

ShorePort/PolyDock Section Troubleshooting

The ShorePort supports up to 1150lb and is 58" W and 138" L.
If the fueled up PWC falls within those specs, the ShorePort fails to stay afloat, it may taking on water. 

If the PWC is over 1150lbs, you may add supplemental flotation up to 1450lbs. 
Each additional float, (up to 6,) increases capacity by 50lb. 
That part number, per 50lbs buoyancy, are as follows:
1022993
Tan Supplemental Float


If the latter, you will first need to determine the source of the leak, (seam, connectors attachment, etc.) 
You will then likely need to remove the port/section and drain the water.
First, the leak will need to be determined.
*Tips for locating the leak:
      - Sometimes, while still in the water, you may look for bubbles in the surrounding water, indicating the leak. If not- 
      - Remove the Port/section from the water. Use a spray bottle filled with a dish soap/water solution to spray until soapy bubbles are noticed, identifying the leak.
If needed, you may add 3-4lbs, (no more than 5lbs) of pressure to the Port to identify the leak. This may also help drain the leak.
*Tips for draining: 
      - You may remove the small hydrohobic vent plug in the front to drain:
1022990
Poly Hydrophobic Vent Gore M12x1.5 - PMF100391 - Black
 
Once the leak is determined and the ShorePort/section drained, we do offer a couple of options:
If the hole is smaller  than 1", you may use the spin weld kit:
1017174 Accessory Spin Weld Repair Kit (Rev-B)

If larger than 1",  we do offer a patch kit or you may purchase a 3M 5200 Marine Sealant, locally.
Our kit includes low density poly pellets and a metal tool you will heat up and use to melt the pellets to seal the crack(s)/hole(s.)
That part number follows:
1024600
Poly Tan Patch Kit

1020038

Additionally rear replacement plugs are also available to order, if needed:
