Your boat is a huge investment that you love dearly, so naturally, you want to take proper care of it. Boats spend most of their lives in the water in constant contact with waves and swells. This continuous contact with water can potentially damage the boat and reduce its performance and value.  A boat lift that keeps your boat out of the water when you’re not using it is convenient, even essential, for any boater to have.

Your boat lift needs maintenance ust like your boat does. You’re trusting it to carry your boat and hold it up even when conditions are rough. Boat lift maintenance and regular care don’t have to be hard, and performing these more frequent and smaller maintenance steps can help you avoid more extensive damage and lessen significant, costly repairs. Focus on these seven areas when taking proper care of your boat lift.

Whether you’ve added a jet ski to your waterfront fleet or you’re just getting into the hobby, having a place to store it outside of the water is a great idea. Just like a boat, your personal watercraft will be exposed to the elements, which means that any extra protection you can provide can’t hurt. This is where buying a jet ski, PWC docking system, or platform can come in.

However, PWC platforms and boat lift systems aren’t one size fits all. Here are the criteria you should consider before shopping and bring to your local dealer to help you make the most optimal choice.

A clean waterfront is a beautiful one that performs well and keeps you safe. Algae buildup and other water damage can make your boat, dock, lift, and canopy unattractive and slippery. Regular cleaning will not only cut down on unsightly and performance-affecting damage that might already have happened but can prevent biological growth and other issues in the first place. It doesn’t take a professional or fancy specialty products to give your waterfront system the spa treatment it deserves, but you have to be mindful of what you’re using on and around the water. Here are some tips to keep your boat, boat lift, boat dock, and canopy looking pristine.

Your boat dock is your walkway to the water, and your boat lift protects your boat from the hazards of the elements. Your waterfront retreat wouldn’t be complete without either, just like it wouldn’t be complete without your watercraft. Your boat lift and dock are intended to last as long as your boat does, or even longer—25 years is a typical lifespan. However, that depends several factors, one of the biggest being the amount of care you put into them. While they’re designed to be rugged and stand up to the strain of the elements as well as your boat itself, boat lifts still need regular maintenance to stay at peak performance for long periods.

Follow these lists for the kind of boat lift maintenance and upkeep you can expect to do.
