Boats, Parts & Accessories

The boat lift hoist offers that extra storage option, ease in maintenance, ups the security, and ensures that the watercraft is kept out of the water and dry when not in action.


The maintenance duties become that much easier. It is now possible to give the boat a good wash down after its outing – that’s a great benefit in a brackish or saltwater environment.

Boat lift hoist options include -

The manual boat hoists often feature a vertical lift hoist that’s in need of a large wheel that’s cranked by hand to raise and turn the lift. These lifts can be up-graded to feature a direct drive unit. This will replace the wheel motion with a push-button function.

The hydraulic or electric boat hoist feature the cantilever or vertical design and offer a quick and quiet operation, with the latest technology. It’s now an option to lift a craft in seconds instead of the time needed to lift with a hand-crank. A remote unit can further increase convenience with the use of a helm control unit.

The boat hoists operate in a electrical, manual, or solar panel capacity. Each model has its own positive and negative points. The electric hoist offers ease in lowering and lifting a boat. Manuals are reliable, simple and affordable – although these can be a pain if you arrive back to the dock tired after a long day of fishing. And the solar energy models are often effective, but might cut out or run out of juice when you least expect it.

In most cases its best to opt for the boat lift hoist that offers a large capacity – this is necessary should the motor-driven boat be upgraded to a larger model at a later date.
