Are
TideSlides hard to install?
No,
TideSlides are relatively easy to install. The units are either lag bolted or
thru bolted to the side of your pole or piling. The side mounting makes for
easier access and, in most cases, TideSlides are easier to mount than a
conventional cleat and 10 times stronger.
Where do
I mount TideSlides on my dock?
TideSlides are mounted on the "side" of the dock pole, out of the mooring area.
To the left, is shown an example of how the unit is mounted. This eliminates
the chance of bumping into it while docking and does not take up space in the
slip. Because TideSlides rotate on the solid 316 SS shaft, you can use them for
different boats in the same slip, too. Don't forget! because you don't have
slack lines its easier than ever to tie up!
Will
this work on my dock?
TideSlides will work on virtually any dock. From side tie-ups using only two
units on one side, to three point tying, all four corners, and more. We will
assist you in determining the best positioning for the most benefit. TideSlides
are the most flexible and easy to use dedicated mooring system available.
Are
TideSlides strong enough to hold my boat?
TideSlides are the strongest system available and are offered in a wide variety
of duty ratings to accommodate any size boats. From our Heavy Duty Class for
boats to 30 feet and 20000# with a solid 1" diameter 316 stainless steel shaft
to the Heavy Yacht Class with a 2" solid 316 SS shaft for yachts to 120000# and
up. TideSlides are offered in shaft diameters from 1" to 6" for any size
watercraft.
What
are TideSlides made of?
TideSlides are constructed of the finest materials available, solid 316L
stainless steel and 100% UV stabilized Polymer plastics. We even go as far as
machining the mooring blocks from solid pieces of UHMW, not injection molding
for even greater strength! TideSlides are made to stand up to years of hard
use.
How long
should my TideSlides be?
TideSlides are offered in standard lengths from 4 to 20 feet long and custom
lengths are always available. Keep the following keys in mind while determining
TideSlide length.
First: What is the average tidal movement in my area?
Second: What are the tidal extremes we typically experience?
Based on these two basic rules of thumb, we can estimate a reasonable average
length for your application.
Example: Your average tidal flow is 3 feet, but on full moon and other extreme
days you experience 1.5 foot negative and 1 foot positive tide. In this case,
we would recommend a 5-7 foot long TideSlide.
