Maintenance

Your SeaPen DryDoc requires little upkeep. However this section shows how to keep your dock in top operating condition.

Repairs

Small repairs to the Flexible outer envelope can be carried out with 3M repair and joining tape applied on the outside.

Suspend the area to be patched above the water line. Clean with a scotch- brite scouring pad. Dry the area well using metholated sprits or acetone. Apply a strip of 3M repair and joining tape to the affected area. Make sure the edges are well sealed and no air bubbles remain.

Large repairs may need to be carried out in the workshop or it may be better to replace the flexible outer envelope depending on the size of the repair or structural damage.

Troubleshooting

Suspension Buoys sinking (Dock silting up)

Over a period of time silt could enter your dock. To remove simply insert a running hose at the back of the dock with the dock up but flooded. Turn on the pump to remove any silty water. Continue this process until discharge water runs clear.
