Stop the engine as soon as the Watercraft is on the

Mounting Hardware
The Permaport
®
Xpress
is best mounted at the front; side mounting is possible but is not
optimal
The standard hardware is suitable for both side and front mounting the
Xpress
to both fixed
and floating docks. In the case of extremely rough water or unusual conditions there may be
additional or alternative parts required.
It is advisable that this port be installed by a professional dock builder. Failure to mount the
port in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions will invalidate the warranty.
Tools required
The
Xpress
port has been designed to be installed with the minimum amount of assembly
and requiring only basic tools.
Note: It is essential that any electrical tools used outdoors be protected by adequate GFCI
protection. We recommend that only hand or battery operated tools be used in close
proximity to water.
