You can install your boat lift with standard legs into 4′ of water. With the extension of 6′ legs, you can install the lift in 6′ of water. Installing a boat lift in more than 6′ of water is not recommended as this could unbalance the weight.
When choosing a boat lift for your boat, you must consider 2 things.
You must get the total weight of your boat, including the motor, full gas tank, and accessories. The capacity of the boat lift must exceed the total weight of your boat.
You must also get the width of your boat. Since our boat lifts don’t all have the same width, it is essential to ensure the boat can fit into the lift. We recommend 6” on either side of the boat to make getting in & out of the boat lift easier.
When choosing between a dock on posts or floating docks, you must know the depth of the water where you plan on installing the dock.
If you have less than 6′ of water depth, we recommend going with a dock on posts.
If you have more than 6′ of water depth, or if your water levels change fast and without warning, we recommend a floating dock.
To install your canopy cover, all that is needed is to tighten the corner straps first, then the ones on the side.
Then, it is necessary to always tighten the straps 2 days after installation.
It is important to keep an eye on the installation of the cover throughout all summer.
