NEWS AND EVENTS

When you want to raise your boat lift, with or without the boat on it, switch on the blower motor(s), and turn your lever(s) to the lift/launch position. If you have multiple levers, then be sure to open them in the correct sequence. The lift will not immediately begin to rise. Some of the water has to be forced from the air tanks first, in order for the lift to gain enough buoyancy to raise its own dead-load. Normally there will be some movement within about 30 seconds. Once the lift contacts your boat, there will be another momentary pause while the air tanks gain enough buoyancy to begin to overcome the added weight of the boat. Regardless of the capacity of your hoist, the total lift time should not exceed six minutes. If your lift does not raise at all, or raises to the point that it contacts the boat, and then stops, it is most likely and airflow issue.

Guide ropes make it easier to align your boat over the lift prior to raising. Guide ropes are typically installed in one of two ways, but there will always be two on each side of the boat. The length of your boat and slip, as well as the position of your roof posts, will generally determine which way that your guide ropes are installed.
