ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODELS SD1200 AND SD2000 WARNING: The watercraft ramp you have purchased has certain hazards associated with it’s use. Never stand behind a watercraft while it is on the ramp. Never allow anyone in or on the watercraft while it is on the ramp. Never allow anyone to operate the ramp unless they are familiar with all of the instructions and warnings contained herein. Never try to stop a free wheeling winch handle.

First you will build the basic framework. STEP 1: DETERMINE THE LENGTH AND LUMBER DIMENSIONS NEEDED. You will likely want to store your watercraft all the way out of the water and away from any wave action. Also remember that a few feet of the ramp will extend into the water so that the rollers first engage the hull below the bow. For the side rails or main supporting beams of the Model 1200 it is recommended that you use 2 x 6s with 2 x 4s for the cross members.

STEP 4: INSTALL THE WINCH SYSTEM. Referring to the Figures below, from 4” x 4” lumber, cut the winch post base and the winch post. It is recommended to leave the post extra long for now and cut the top off later. 48 inches should be plenty for now. The winch post base should be cut to fit snuggly between the side rails. Next drill the ½ inch holes for joining the bottom of the winch post to the center of the winch post base.

STEP 5: INSTALL THE WINCH AND CABLE AS SHOWN IN THE FIGURE BELOW. The eventual height of the winch will be determined after you crank the boat up for the first time. For now, use your best judgment and maybe you’ll be lucky! If you have no idea, try making the top of the winch 32 – 36 inches form the bottom of the post. Additional information and warnings are included with winch literature.

JOINING SIDE RAILS END-TO-END IMPORTANT: When joining side rails end-to-end, they should be kept in line with each other. If you form an angle that makes a “valley” the boat transom will not bass over the rollers behind it. If the angle forms a “crest”, the weight if the entire boat will fall upon a single pair or row of rollers as the center of gravity pivots over the crest. Join ends of rails as shown below. (Hardware not included.

ATTACHING SUPPORTING LEGS • • • • Concrete Blocks work best for supporting or “leveling” your ramp. Extra long cross members can help make the ramp more stable. Keep leg height to a minimum. Shore Docker is not responsible for customized designs. Be safe! Keep legs VERTICAL TO THE HORIZON regardless of the ramp angle. Install legs as shown below.
