NEWS AND EVENTS

The states that make up the U.S. range from mountainous to plain states to sweeping tableaus. They also run the gamut of temperatures from below zero winters to mild climates to year-round sunshine. Across these fifty states, the ten lakes we discuss in this article are some of the most idyllic lakes for boating, riding personal watercrafts (PWCs), and enjoying the water. If you need a boat lift dealer at any of these lakes, we have one for you. Which one will you visit first?

Scott Mauldin, Regional Sales Director, hosted two separate Certified Installer Conferences in February and March.  104 attended the conferences which included classroom teaching, hands-on learning and an exam at the conclusion of the two-day event to receive official certification.

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.
