Lift systems fitted to your boat and slip
A lift must match more than the boat length. Loaded weight, beam, hull, bunk position, slip width, pilings, water depth, and power all affect the setup.
We install new systems, correct alignment and service issues, and walk owners through normal operation.

Install and dial in

How much capacity do I need?
Capacity should exceed the boat's actual loaded weight, including fuel, batteries, gear, and added equipment.
Can an existing lift fit a new boat?
Possibly, if capacity, geometry, bunks, slip, and clearances work for the new hull.
Why is my lift uneven?
Cable wear, winding, alignment, load placement, bunk setup, or structural movement can contribute. Stop use if operation looks unsafe.
Do you service lift motors?
We troubleshoot the lift system and identify whether controls, drive components, cables, or alignment need attention.
Can you install a personal watercraft lift?
Yes, when the dock, water, access, and proposed system are compatible.
How should I prepare for a storm?
Follow the manufacturer and local emergency guidance. Secure loose items early and never work on the lift once conditions become unsafe.
