IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT STAINLESS FASTENERS
Stainless fasteners may gall and seize up (cold weld) if assembled without lubrication. Be sure to apply a dab of the
supplied anti-seize compound to the threads of each stainless bolt prior to assembling the nut.
Assembly
1. Unpack the box and confirm that all the parts are present according to the parts list.
2. Lay the Keel Beam and Front Beam on a flat surface end to end, with the bottom access openings facing up. Assemble
them together using the 2 Connector Plates, and 16 sets of 1.00” 3/8-16 bolts, washers, and nuts. Get all the bolts
inserted and the nuts started before tightening any of them. Tighten all 16 sets of fasteners firmly.

3. Assemble the Rear Foot and Spacer to the Keel Beam using 2 sets of 3.25” 3/8-16 bolts, washer, and nuts.
4. Assemble the Front Foot and Spacer to the Front Beam using 2 sets of 3.25” 3/8-16 bolts, washers, and nuts.
5. Assemble the rear set of 2 Wheels using the Short Axle through the Keel Beam with the 2.5” Roller in the center.
After placing two ¾” washers on the outboard side of the wheels, secure by inserting the cotter pins and bending.
6. Assemble the 16 Axle Shafts to the Keel Beam and Front Beam by sliding them through the 1” dia. holes on each side
with the short ¾” dia. section protruding out the other side. Secure by inserting the cotter pins and bending.
7. Slide 16 Wheels onto the Axle Shafts. Secure by inserting the cotter pins and bending.
8. Assemble the Winch Strut to the Front Beam by inserting it into the front notch and aligning the holes. Aligning the
holes in the two parts and inserting the 5.0” long 3/8-16 bolts may take some “persuasion”. Do not tighten either bolt
until both are inserted fully. Tighten lightly to avoid crushing the Front Beam tube.
9. Assemble the Winch to the Winch Strut using 2 sets of 1.00” long 3/8-16 bolts, washers, and nuts. It may be helpful to
unwind some of the strap from the winch to access the bolts during assembly. Assemble the Handle to the Winch.
10. Insert the Cap Plug into the Winch Strut and tap into place.

Installation
The Shore Ramp PWC-50 is intended for the storage of personal watercraft on gently sloping firm sand, soil, or turf.
Place the Shore Ramp with the Rear Foot just in the water so that the rear set of rollers is just submerged. This should
allow the watercraft to be easily floated up to the first rollers and then winched up and onto the ramp. Some
experimentation and adjustment may be required to determine the optimal location.
The edge of the Rear Foot of the Shore Ramp must be firmly embedded into the lakebed to prevent any back-sliding.
The Front Foot must be supported on firm soil, level across its entire width to prevent any side tipping.
CAUTION: Do not use the PWC ramp on loose rock or any unstable ground where it may slide down or tip to the side.
Loading a watercraft onto the Shore Ramp:
Manually unwind the strap until the hook can reach a couple of feet past the end of the ramp.
Float the watercraft by hand to the front of the ramp. Attach the winch strap to the bow loop.
Engage the winch control such that it is ratcheting in the wind-up direction.
Wind the winch, pulling the front of the watercraft to the first set of rollers. Guide the watercraft so that it remains
centered and aligned with the ramp (in windy conditions this may be easier with two people).
As the watercraft comes up and over the first roller, confirm the watercraft is not rubbing on the Shore Ramp.
Wind the winch until the watercraft is pulled all the way up the ramp.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate your watercraft in the shallows or attempt to power it up the ramp as the PWC’s
impeller will be damaged by sand and rocks pulled in from the bottom. Always float your watercraft to and from
deeper water by hand. Consult your PWC owner’s manual for the minimum safe operating depth.
IMPORTANT: Always ensure the winch ratchet is engaged to hold the load before releasing the handle.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the weight and size capacity of the Shore Ramp PWC-50 (1200 lbs or 54” wide).
CAUTION: Do not use the Shore Ramp if any part of the ramp, winch, or winch strap is damaged, worn, or
malfunctioning.
Launching a watercraft from the Shore Ramp:
Take up the load on the winch by grasping the handle.
While staying in control of the load, disengage the ratchet control to allow the winch to unwind.
Slowly unwind the winch, staying at all times in control of the load by firm hold of the winch handle.
When the watercraft is completely off the ramp and floating in the water with slack in the strap, unhook the strap.
Float your watercraft by hand to the minimum safe operating depth before starting the engine.
CAUTION: Should the winch handle be released under load, keep clear of the rapidly spinning handle. Although not
ideal, it is safest to then just allow the winch to unwind until the PWC comes to rest in the water.
