Leisure Boat Lift Recommends Service Requisitions
Call for service if you are
lifting a different boat that certainly will need a
reconfiguration according to length, width and ribs on the bottom of the boat.
When
lowering the Leisure Boat Lift, never completely float the boat. Always leave
some
of the weight of the boat in the carpeted bunks. Backing away from the Leisure
Boat
Lift, in reverse gear, use up to 3000 RPM. Safely steer the stern away
from the dock.
Returning to the lift steer the boat between the bunks and power the boat
gently onto
the bunks and up to the leg stop. Powering back onto the lift is slightly
easier, as the
propeller is more effective in forward gear. Lowering the boat to the
appropriate
depth is that key to the ease of operation. Visual marks are provided to help
establish
the optimum settings for driving on and off the lift. Never allow
passengers in
the bow while bringing the boat on the Lifter.

With concern of high winds and
rough water conditions, have the lift bed slightly higher
for leaving, under more power in reverse gear. This slightly
higher bed and bunk setting
will aid coming back onto the bed system. It will keep the boat rested
from going
into the deep swell of the waves and held much tighter while powering
onto the bunks
as they form a holstering effect. Leisure Boat Lift is very forgiving in
the lateral movement.
Give and take with the waves assures no damage to structural strength of
the boat.
