Boat Lift Maintenance Tips
- Raise your boat lift out of the water and rinse it. Leaving it submerged for prolonged periods of time accelerates deterioration. Make sure you get all that dirt and grime rinsed off before it sits all winter long.
- Visually inspect all moving parts, bushings, hoses and hose clamps for any loose items, punctures or anything else that is out of place.
- Make sure all nuts, bolts and hose clamps are properly tightened.
- Remove the motor cover and clean out any debris that may have gotten in there over the course of the summer.
- Visually inspect the motor and bearings for any damage or part wear.
- Check the carpet bunks for any worn areas or tears. Make repairs or replace spots as necessary.
- Inspect the condition of the bunks and replace them if any are cracked or split.
Bonus Tip
- It is recommended that you operate your lift occasionally throughout the winter months. This keeps the motor contacts and brushes clean, plus keeps everything evenly lubricated through extended periods of no boating activity. By simply running your lift for about 1 minute in each direction, you can reduce the chances of having issues when you go to actually use it next spring!
