Blaster Docking a Blaster

[T.B. Kind]

I have never seen a blaster, but they look like fun. Can you leave it tied to a dock or will it sink?

I'll leave mine.....but I watch it like a hawk.

why would you think it would sink? if you have stock drain plugs i dont see how water would get in unless you have a leak somewhere around the pump or a hole in the ski.

If you are worried get an automatic bilge pump. I remember a houseboat trip where my bilge would run for 17 seconds every 1.25 hours all through the day and night. The water sounds made you want to get up and whiz.

a blaster is i think 320lbs. if it's tied to a floating dock tight it wouldent even sink if there was a hole in it. think of it like this you could have two peolpe standing on the dock with out the dock sinking right.. so i dont think a blaster would pull a dock down with it.
do you understand what im saying?

my experience - I bought a SN without ever having seen one. Took it to the lake, rode it to the dock. tied it off and left for an hour or so. When I can back the only thing above water was the exhaust. I still don't know where the water came from. Hood leaks when I ride, so it might have gotten it from the wave action of other boats. I am working a Slutty hood mode now.

So now Blasters are starting to look good and I was wondering if I should include a beach cart in the plan. So far, it seems unnecessary.

Thanks for information.

pop it open at the dock to see if water is intruding anywhere. My 750sx is light enough that I can drag it up on a dock assuming the edge of the dock isn't rough and more than a foot above the water.

yea why not make a ramp out of pvc that goes in the water and bolts to the dock. thats an easy cheep way of getting it on the dock and you dont have to worry about it sitting in the water... or you could pull it up by hand like eeerieski said.

your sn must of had a leak somewhere if it sunk with in a hour.. and how did you have it tied up??
{a bilge pump is a great thing to have}

a blasters not gonna sink unless their is a storm... then you should puul it out.
yah a super jet sinking in an hour? did you fill it with water your first ride then park it with the air intakes already underwater, or did you tilt itwhen getting off, or never put the hood on right and a boat came by

don't tie it to a dock they weigh 330lbs and are easy to take
