I need 20 standard interal connecting pins
- - Used Versa Dock for 14 years and leaves it in winter.
- - Loses about two pins per year to ice; nuts are locked into position.
- - Needs 20 pins to stay ahead.
I have had my Versa Dock for about 14 years and I still love it. I leave it in the Lake for the Winter and each year I loose about two Standard Internal Connecting Pins due to the
Ice Break-up.
I need to buy 20 Pins to stay ahead of the game. The Nuts are locked into
position so all I need is the pins.
Thank You.

Versadock's don't stay together
- - They advertise a twenty-year warranty, but mine fails after an hour.
- - Roy Ahern sold the company to an offshore firm; warranty issues not honored.
Versadock or as I call them Versacrap products claim to have a twenty year warranty! Mine don't stay together more than 1 hour in the water.
I complained from 2003-**** and finaly sued the owner in 2011. Only to find out the original owner Roy Ahern claims to have sold the company to an off shore company. Bull More like to avoid paying a $15 million dollar judgement for patent infringment that was recorded against him in 2012. The new versadock of the UK will not honor the versadock warranty because they claim in the sale agreement they did not accept past warranty issues.
Beware this company and it's products it's owners. Bunch of con men no matter what side of the pond your on.
Try marinefloor or coma or candock any of them are better than versacrap.

Versa Dock floats are garbage don't buy them
- - Dock fails after an hour; warranty is a lie.
- - Seven years in court; fees equal the dock cost; Versa Dock sold overseas; owners deny responsibility.
Roy Ahern a partner of Versa Dock sold me a boat dock system that will not stay together after only one hour in the water. The 20 yr.
warranty is a lie. After seven years I have taken them to court just to get my money back. Versa Dock and Roy admit the dock has this problem but they have failed to do anything about it. At this point I have spent the same amaount in attorney fees as the dock cost originally and we are not in court yet.
Versa dock has sold to an overseas group and Ahern and his partner Teo leonard claim they are no longer responsible.
The two *** men from florida are off opening other businesses fidding new victims. Save your money and time don't buy Versa Dock and don't buy from Roy Ahern or Teo Leonard.
Roy Ahern and Teo Leonard, ERA Marine, and Versadock were all found guilty of fraud. I was awarded Triple damages, attorney fees, and costs, Total $219k judgement.
Roy filed for BK a month later and tried to have the judgement dismissed, he failed.
He appealed he failed. The interest is adding up and the collection attorneys are after them all.

I have a civil judgment against Versadock, Roy ahern and Teo leonard the partners for warranty fraud and theft. Ahern filed chapter 7 BK June 16,2014.
The new owner will not honor warranties of products sold before the so called sale of the company from Ahern to VDI or Versadock International limited located in the UK.
By the way Roy Ahern founded VDI in 2009 to avoid another US patient infringement judgment brought by Jet dock who was awarded 15 million.
Do not trust Versadock.
Avoid Versadock no matter where they are made. The products are substandard and they will not honor the warranty.
Agreed. Total rubish.
I bought 120 floats. Failed in less than one year. I had to fight for replacement floats. They failed again the next year and again the next after complete redesign.
They dont answer emails or phone calls promptly.
I had to threaten to file suit.
I have a 5 year old Versadock that is SINKING. I took some of the floats out and found they contained a lot of water (see photos at http://kayakguide.com/VersaDockDefects-131107/ ).
Bruce Nelson, the registered agent for the current Versadock US distributor has failed to honor the warranty to repair or replace the dock at no cost. In fact he wrote; "We are not responsible for ERA Marine’s warranty"
Bruce Nelson or United marine products is another Roy Ahern company. Ahern who just filed for Chapter 7 BK June 2014 created United Marine products and has the exclusive USA distributorship of Versadock / VDI /Versadock International limited.
This is such a tangled web of BS it's hard to believe they are not in jail. At least not yet..
Spread the word do not buy these products, they are garbage just like the people that make them.

None of this is good news for Versadock buyers. I would avoid Versadock like the plague.
How exactly did yours not stay together for even an hour? I have a versadock and have seen others (some together even after a tropical storm!), and can't figure out what could have happened to make yours fall apart. Did you use the proper connecting pins and nuts?
Funny how there is no reply. :grin
Why would i reply to *** remarks. Facts are funny things.
The Door County WI court reviewed the evidence and testimoney and found Ahern and leonard guilty of warranty fraud and thieft in 2014. We were awarded triple damages and attorney fees.
The judge even charged the defendants for the jury fees. The original suit was for the 30k the final judgment was over $200K.
As a matter of fact DK next time you want to question my integrity understand that it was Roy Ahern that sold all the parts and put the system together. Oh, did I mention the court found Ahern and Leonard guilty of warranty fraud and thieft!
You seem, um...a little sensitive there Anonymous. I wasn't questioning your integrity, I was asking an honest question.
Just happened to come across this post again years later, and found your response. My question was legitimate, simply asking if you installed it properly. My Versadock is STILL in the water, doing fine, lived through recent hurricanes and tropical storms that skirted the Tampa Bay area in the past couple of years, and hasn't fallen apart once.
I do occasionally re-tighten some of the connectors, as anyone should expect to do.Never said your experience wasn't real, just asked if you were sure you installed it correctly, and gave an alternative view based on my experience with the product. Sorry you had problems with it, mine is still floating strong.
