Q.
|
How do I store my lift for the winter?
|
|
A.
|
You can leave your boat on the hoist during winter if you desire. Stationary ice will not damage the lift if it is up.
Simply raise the lift out of the water like you would normally.
Once the lift is raised, tie the hoses up so that they do not hang down into the water. The object is to keep water from freezing around your hoses during the cold weather.
That's it! Your lift is secured for the winter.

Q.

Can I buy directly from HydroHoist?
|
|
A.
|
HydroHoist is not a retail outlet.
But we are more than happy to point you to a knowledgeable dealer in your area.
As you know, lakes are notorious for being different. Some rise and fall several feet each year. Some freeze early. Some never freeze. A local representative can assess your lift needs with these conditions in mind.
If your lift becomes damaged your dealer can repair the lift quickly and easily.
Marinas have their own requirements on what can be installed on their docks.
For a list of our dealers we have a searchable database located at: Dealer Search.

Can I move my lift?

|
A.

In some cases the same mooring components are used for both fixed and floating dock applications. Water level fluctuation, dock freeboard and dealer preference determine the mooring system used.
