Air-Dock brand boat lifts seem like a good idea. That is until you
learn that animals love to chew on them. Mine has about a dozen holes,
the largest about 9 square inches. No help from the Air-Dock company
either... Their big offer was to sell me a used, patched one at half
retail. Their customer service is a joke.

How's about pepper-laced paint applied on all exposed surfaces????

When they're making 'Muskrat Love"?

Muskrat Love... LOL.
Actually I wasn't sure what caused the holes, but airdock seemed
familar with the problem after they saw the photos. The best guess at
this point is Muskrats. The system is made of material similar to RIBs.
RIBs don't have the problem though because animals can't get their
teeth around them while they are inflated. The air dock is deflated
whenever the boat is not on it, making it an easy target.

I'm surprised that they'd want to eat whatever type of plastic material
that is!
