Dock Upgrades NEVER seen before #new #cabinlife

What happens here

With the dock in the water, fine-tune the height of each leg using the internal screw jack mechanism. Remove the cap on the dock surface to reveal the bolt head of the screw jack. Use a drill with a socket attachment (1-inch or 1-and-1/8-inch, as specified in the manual) to turn the bolt, raising or lowering the leg. It is crucial to use a drill, not an impact driver, to avoid damaging the internal gearing. Adjust each leg until the dock is perfectly level and at the desired height, without having to enter the cold water.

Goal: Level the dock and set its final height in the water

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Flex — Adjusting the screw jacks in the dock legs
  • Small Level — Checking the levelness of the dock sections
  • Socket Set — Attaching to the drill to turn the screw jack bolts (1-inch or 1-1/8-inch)

What they say

Hide

with these legs but inside of every one of those legs there's a screw jack right so we're gonna take our socket and we're just going to turn that it raises it up or down depending on the height we want and that's how you level your legs out and you can be on top of the dock when you do it like that one you're going to probably be in the water somebody's going to be going like this right you know and then somebody's gonna tighten it usually when you do that it's oh you know how many wrenches i have in that lake from in november when i'm trying to pull this thing out before the lake freezes over and i'm bending over and i'm trying to wrench on it i actually used it you lost him or he did no i've lost them so i've actually strapped the wrenches to my hand so that when i cause your hand starts to go numb it's like how long can you keep it under water before your fingers stop working right and your quick wrench and it slides off and there goes your wrench i don't i even this this spring i'm like frankie lost another one of your crescent wrenches like don't worry about it they're all yours anyway [Music] now when you go to adjust the legs up and down it is recommended you use a drill and not an impact so you don't damage the gearing inside the mechanism in here right so it shows you up down on the cap
