7. Attach Bunks to Jet Rail Deck
Attach one swivel bracket on each "corner" of the Jet Rail
Deck as shown in Picture 9. There are several holes in which to
adjust the width of your bunk boards to t your watercraft. We
recommend that you start with the outer most hole and adjust
inward if necessary. Tighten bolts enough to allow adjustment
of the bunks on your watercraft.

Attach bunk boards to the swivel brackets on each side of the
deck, with two 1-1/4" screws at each bracket. Bunks should be
mounted with one inch of overhang on the front swivel brackets. After deciding on the permanent placement of the bunks
(picture 10), tighten all four bolts holding the swivel brackets
to the deck.

stop plate next to the winch mount tube,place a 4 inch x
3/8" bolt and nyloc nut. Tighten bolt so that the bow stop is
about 12 inches below the top of the tube. You will adjust
this later to t your watercraft.

winch strap to the winch as shown in pictures 16 & 17. Wind the winch
strap onto the winch using the winch handle.
Pull length of strap down side of tube, through the bow stop. Use a
3/8" x 4" bolt and the 3" x 3/4" strap roller in the remaining holes in the
bow stop. Winch strap should be between the mounting bolt closest to
the winch mount tube and the 3" x 3/4" roller. Picture 18

NOTE: If your PWC does not have a bow eye and uses a hole in the
front deck, do not thread the winch strap through the bow stop. Use the
strap direct from winch to PWC using the "soft hook" provided. Also
see page 8 of these instructions.

Instructions for use.
To load watercraft onto Jet Rail, slide deck back to rear of Jet Rail. Tilt deck into water. Jet Rail extends to the
length of the watercraft. Use pin provided to lock winch tube in place before using lift. Also make sure the bow
stop is tightened approximately at bow level. This may need to be adjusted to t your watercraft. Pull enough
strap out to reach watercraft. Hook to watercraft and turn winch handle to pull watercraft out of water. Winch
until watercraft meets bow stop.
To unload watercraft, slowly release strap by turning winch handle counter clockwise. Push watercraft backwards
allowing Jet Rail deck to roll and tilt into the water. Jet Rail may be shortened by pulling pin and sliding extension
tube into frame tube when not used to store watercraft.
NOTE: TO BALANCE WATERCRAFT ON JET RAIL, an extra U-bolt and plate is included to use as a stop
for the rolling carriage on the frame tube. Some watercraft will not slide on the bunk rails as it is being winched
up, causing an unbalanced mount. The U-bolt can be mounted on the frame tube to stop the carriage from
moving forward, if your watercraft experiences this imbalance. A starting point would be 22 inches from the
front mounting plate. Adjust accordingly after using your Jet Rail. SEE PICTURE ON PAGE 6.
A "soft hook" (2" x 18" nylon strap stitched in a loop) is provided for watercraft that do not have a bow eye .
Place the "soft hook" through the front "deck hole" and place the hook from the winch strap through each end
of the loop to winch watercraft on and off of the Jet Rail. If you use this method, you may use the winch strap
straight from the winch to the PWC and not go through the bow stop
WARNING
JET RAIL WILL FALL INTO WATER IF NOT BOLTED TO THE DOCK WHEN WINCHING
ON OR OFF A WATERCRAFT. THE LIFT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR LIFTING HUMANS.
DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT OR STAND ON WATERCRAFT WHEN IT IS BEING
PUT ON OR OFF THE LIFT OR IS BEING STORED ON THE JET RAIL.

• One person launch n' load • Easy assembly • Nothing else to buy
• Small "footprint", takes up less room on dock
The Jet Rail is an all galvanized steel PWC lift designed for easy one person "launch and load".
The small foot print under the ski allows easy walk around while the watercraft is stored on
the dock or seawall. The 800 lb. brake winch and mount adjusts to any size watercraft and
slides inside the lift when not in use, saving even more precious dock space. Carpeted bunk
boards and all hardware are included. All you add is your PWC!
