FAQs About Drive-On Jet Ski Lifts
Which jet ski models fit HydroPort docks?
With capacities up to 2,000 lbs and adjustable rollers, HydroPort docks fit virtually all major PWCs — including Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Sea-Doo.
Can I connect multiple ports together?
Yes. HydroPort docks are modular, letting you expand for multiple PWCs or combine with boat lifts for a complete waterfront system.
Do HydroPort docks work in saltwater?
Absolutely. Built with marine-grade polyethylene, EPS foam, and stainless hardware, HydroPort withstands fresh, brackish, and saltwater.
Can I install a HydroPort myself?
While they’re designed for easy setup, we recommend professional installation by a HydroHoist dealer to ensure safety, longevity, and compliance with local regulations.
How does a drive-on lift protect my jet ski?
By keeping your PWC dry-docked above the waterline, HydroPort prevents algae growth, hull damage, intake fouling, and corrosion.
