Fab Dock - the dry berthing solution that also guides your boat into your mooring, no more bumps and scratches...
Forget hoisting, boosting or skidding your boat above the waterline on to the various dry dock systems on the market. The low-profile Fab Dock lets it stay right where it is, effectively pushing the water away from the hull by surrounding it from below with an inflatable PVC or polyurethane collar and polyurethane alloy floor. That inflatable collar surrounds your boat and protects it from dock damage. Bilge pumps pump the Fab Dock dry when the boat is in position and work to continually keep things that way while the boat is not in use. It’s kind of like your own personal dry dock, except this one is portable and positioned right at your dock or slip. Move to a new spot and the Fab Dock rolls up and goes with you.
Assembly is minimal. Simply unroll, slide into the water and inflate. The back half of the collar is a separate, weighted chamber; when deflated, the weight causes it to sink far enough below the surface to effectively open the door for entry. Just get the bow into the opening between the port and starboard tubes, and the hull is guided into position. Once in place, that back gate is then inflated with a portable electric pump attached to the boat battery, a solar panel or shore power, completing the full wraparound collar and surrounding your boat. Water left within is emptied in about 30 to 45 minutes by submersible pumps, located within a housing on the floor. An electronic sensor turns the pumps on should water enter the Fab Dock via rain or waves. Each Fab Dock is manufactured to fit the hull almost like a glove, taking into account more than 25 data points that compensate for individual running gear. In some cases, pockets may be incorporated into the durable polyurethane alloy floor; areas subject to added stress are reinforced with pure polyurethane. It’s tough stuff, developed and proven in Australia's harsh UV and salt water environment, the Fab Dock is reassuringly simple with no moving parts and comes with a 3 year warranty. It really is a simple solution to an age old problem. Dry Docking... FAB Dock's premise is simple; you drive your boat in, pump up the rear section by the air pump via a magnetic connector installed on your boat. That's it. All done in ten minutes. The FAB Dock system looks after the rest. It empties the water out and then turns itself off. Your boat is completely dry. If it rains, the automatic sensor turns the water pumps on until the FAB Dock is dry again and then turns itself off again. Docking assistance... We all know how hard the docking process can be, especially on those windy days, so why ask your passenger to help, and put them at risk of falling in the water when you can just tell them to sit back and relax. The FAB Dock will have you docked in no time at all. Not only is the docking easy but this revolutionary design allows the FAB Dock to act as a fender protecting your boat from hitting pontoons or other boats nearby. |
