Finally got the lift in!
Finally, no more making fast to the dock and worrying when the wind comes though!
When do you all put your pontoon covers on while in the lift?

Re: Finally got the lift in!
That's quite the trick with that lift.
I've never seen one that turns upside down so the boat drains.

Holy huge photograph batman!!
Are you in Australia by any chance as I heard you mates do everything upside down.
To answer your question, I put my cover on after I put it on the lift.

Re: Finally got the lift in!
yeah, i bet it took an engineering feat to do a "flip the pontoon on a lift" trick!
THAT will keep the bird crap from the seats!

Re: Finally got the lift in!
That looks like a really nice lift. Are you located in the snow country or where the lift's got to be removed for winter?

thanks! So far so good. Full carpeted bunks, electric winch with wireless remotes.
Minnesota, so it will be coming out in the fall, along with the boat and dock!
Re: Finally got the lift in!
heck, the picture's fixed!
with that lift so close to the seating, you may not need cover on

Re: Finally got the lift in!
We put our cover on/off when the boat goes in or out. We just got a new vertical lift a couple weeks ago. New boat that was to heavy for our old cantilever lift. Had to have a power winch as well! We are lucky in that we do not have to take the lift and dock out for winter. We are on a empoundment that gets the water level dropped in winter. Bad thing is that we have wild rice and are limited in how much we can clear our shoreline. Looks like a nice lift, have not seen that brand where we are.

Re: Finally got the lift in!
my lift set up is similar and i do not cover my boat
The cover is folded up under my bed
the boat stays pretty clean, i do try to 303 the seats every month or so
I am on a channel that has a good water flow year round so i do not have to move my lifts in the
winter. even my docks stay in year round, at most i get 1" of ice
