| | | The anchoring of a boat floating dock can be achieved by using one or a combination of several methods, the most popular of which are illustrated on this page. Particular anchoring decision factors include the depth of the water, the distance from land the dock resides, the potential amount and frequency of fluctuation of the water level, the amount of wave and wind stress placed on the dock and local regulatory restrictions. Anchoring systems are one of the first places docks fail, which is why Wahoo uses unparalleled gusset reinforcement at all anchor points. 1 | | |
