ABSTRACT:
An improved water level compensation device is disclosed for adjusting the vertical position of a floating object relative to a fixed land mass. A first channel having a slot is attached to the fixed land mass in a substantially vertical position. A carriage is movably retained within the first channel for enabling bidirectional vertical movement therein. A mounting plate external to the first channel is affixed to the carriage through the slot in the first channel. A second channel is secured relative to the land mass for movably retaining a counterweight. A flexible cable interconnects the counterweight and the carriage. A coupler is affixed to the mounting plate for releasably coupling the floating object relative to the fixed land mass irrespective of variations in the vertical position of the floating object due to variations in water level.
