Storing tubes at a boat slip

[SarahDawn68]

I am needing some help with how to store 2 airhead tubes ( 2 man tube / 3 man tube) and a 18 foot by 6 feet Lilly pad at our boat slip. We are in a marina where there are 24 slips on our dock with a general walkway between the slips. I want to use a pulley system I think cause sometimes it’s just me and my daughters (I don’t always have the husband to help). Any ideas? Anyone that has pictures?

Flatten the tubes when you are not using them. Pump them up when you get to your spot to use them. And roll up the lillypad.

Buy a pontoon, park in the next slip over throw the tubes and pad in the pontoon snap down the cover.

That would be awesome if I had the money and the slip next to us was open. We are on Beaver Lake in Arkansas and the marina had a wait list of 8 months for the slip we got. So that’s not gonna work.

I roll the Lilly pad up and keep it on my swim platform may not fit on yours tubes would invest in a 12 vdc inflator and pump them up each time

We don't slip our boat, but we do deflate our tubes after use. We have a little pump like the one below, and it works remarkable well. Inflates large tubes pretty quickly. I'd be concerned about the lily pad disappearing unless it could be secured somehow. Lashing it to the swimpad isn't a bad idea, but there is not much theft protection...

Might be time to adjust how you're doing things. Buy one large flat tube that kinda doubles for an at rest play toy and say that's it. That's too much stuff to deal with and store.
