Once in place, he said that you use a winch or crank and they crank together an voila, you have a level dock. I believe that he called it a farmers jack.

As I begin my search this spring, I haven't run into anyone that can help, so I am turning to the forum that has never let me down.

Any help or direction is always appreciated.

You can make a dock jack out of an old metal post & a come along
