This was really awesome to witness. We have a sailboat ⛵️ in California and I am learning as much as possible about how everything works including marinas and docks. Thanks for sharing.
Would really love "sardine can" buildings instructions. In dire need of something like this for our house boat. Or where we could possibly rent one in lower Alabama.
looking to do the same with my dock does anyone in LA do this? everyone I have had look at my dock says have to replace it all with a new one. This is up at Toledo Bend in LA.
I now offer delivery with training for the dock cans (typical cost with delivery and training approximately $12,000, or we offer all the components except the ballistic, with phone support and written directions, we ship one pallet that contains everything else you need($8,000) All the materials we supply are stainless steel and high density plastics, making for a reliable unit season after season. Call or text Caleb 605-222-4149
Less expensive too. Just use a short chain to wrap around the top of the post, hook the come a long to the chain, then hook other end to the pole guide or structure and Jack it up. If theres no piling then use a 4x4 four or five foot taller than the water depth
@@hunterfant1289 I have floating dock in 30’ deep water, need to figure out how to sink 2,000 lb float like this to install under floating dock while it is already out in water

Hey thats my store lol! I just stumbled upon this video.
I wonder if they make smaller submersible and refillable floats for residential docks to install in the fashion
Reallly would love to know more about the ballast and how it’s made we have a marina and are trying to put floats up under the store thanks
Do you have a video or description of how you built your sardine can?
I don’t but I’ll get one or at least some pictures
@@STEAMBOATSINC Where can I find these how to pictures?

What hardware did you use to attach the floats
Do you know anyone that does this in Georgia or any ideas for someone in Georgia
He casually commented about using “1,900 pounds” of counterweight. That’s a Volkswagen Bug!! Where would someone even get such a thing?
Can you please tell me how you made your sardine can?
Ever figure out?
Where did you get your sardine can?
Ever find out?
@@ToughCowboy nope sure haven't. Doesnt look like they are willing to respond
Why not just use a come a long to lift the whole structure by the piling to replace about three or four floats. Only takes "about five minutes".

@@jordanjohnson8688 Thats great if the water is less than 10'... We have floating docks setting 70' plus.
@@hunterfant1289 agreed, so how do you do this?
