PROPRIETARY LIFTING PRINCIPLE

Load Equalization

ShoreStation lift design promotes level lifting that equalizes the load across the entire structure, reducing stress on the lift and its components. Unlike other “v-frame” lifts, ShoreStation lifts feature a horizontal lift tube that creates two lifting points distributing the weight for smooth trouble-free operation. Custom shapes designed around custom pulley sheaves to ''crowd'' cable systems(illustrated below in ''Image 1'') to keep cables in place even when slack may occur.

The “V” shape of the platform allows for operation in shallow water and provides easier centering. It is raised and lowered vertically to eliminate torque that would fatigue and weaken the lift. In the “up” position, there are no moving parts left in the water which minimizes corrosion.

These lifts feature large diameter stainless steel lift cables operating over large diameter sheaves with self lubricating GARMAX® bushings. The simple design ensures no cable to cable contact (illustrated below in ''Image 2''), eliminating the possibility of the cables binding and damaging each other.

FAQs

Why is my boat lift not raising? ›

This can be caused by several factors, such as faulty wiring, blown fuses or breakers, or simply wear and tear over time. If your boat lift's motor is not functioning properly, your vessel may not be able to lift or lower as it should, which can be a safety hazard.

Why won't my manual boat lift go down? ›

If your lift will not lower, with or without the boat, then it is most likely an airflow issue. Double check your valve handle lever(s) to confirm that they are fully in the lift/launch position. Pick up the air hose to make sure that it is not kinked or resting too low below the water's surface.

How do I increase the capacity of my boat lift? ›

Sheaves are added to increase the capacity of the boat lift. for every sheave you add, you reduce the load on the motor and drive unit in half. The sheave needs to be routinely greased and should always be turning when the boat lift in being raised or lowered.

What is the minimum depth for a ShoreStation? ›

What is the minimum water depth my boat lift will work in? Approximately 12"-14" plus the draft of the boat.

Why is my hydraulic lift not lowering? ›

Check for any leaks or damage to the cylinder, which may prevent the lift from lowering. If there are any leaks or damage, the cylinder may need to be repaired or replaced. Another potential cause for the lift not coming down is a damaged or blocked release valve.

Why is my lift not going up? ›

Generally speaking, the most common causes for a lift to be stuck are: Not enough oil/faulty oil level reader. Damaged pump or valve. Leak in the hydraulic system.

What is the life expectancy of a boat lift? ›

How Long Do Boat Lifts Last? Boat lifts are intended to last about the same length of time as your boat — or longer if you're fortunate. With proper use and regular maintenance, it's common for boat lifts to last up to 25 years.

How do you adjust boat lift legs? ›

Do NOT attempt to adjust with the boat on the lift. Loosen the set screw and pull/push the leg post to the desired position. You will need to jack up that end of the lift to adjust the leg position. A lift jack can help make this task easier.

What determines boat lift capacity? ›

Style and Size of Your Boat

The make and model of your boat determine a lot of the information you may need to buy your boat lift. The boat lift's features, including hull shape, draft, and motor type will affect the shape, weight distribution, and cradle beam length required for the lift.

How far forward should boat be on lift? ›

Boat should be positioned centered in lift and forward just enough that the rear taper on the bunks are showing just past the stern of the boat.

How much does it cost to upgrade a boat lift? ›

The more expensive types are the vertical lifts that range from $5,000-$15,000. If you have a larger boat and install something with hydraulic power, expect that the costs will be over $10,000.

What type of boat lift is best for shallow water? ›

Less Than Three Feet. While most boat lifts need three feet of water to work with, there are options for those with shallower shores. A sling-style lift works better for shallow waters because it can compensate for the lack of depth.

How deep should water be for a boat lift? ›

When it comes to the ideal water depth for a boat lift, we at ShoreMaster personally like our water to be three or more feet deep. However, depending on the kind of boat lift you use, you can go as shallow as nine inches plus the draft.

How do I find my shorestation model? ›

The easiest thing to do is measure the height of the lower framework on the lift. The extrusions that connects each upright should measure roughly 2” wide x 4” tall for a 2600 or 3000 lb capacity and should measure roughly 2” wide x 5” for a 3600 or 4000 lb capacity.

Why will my boat motor go down but not up? ›

Check the solenoids on the trim pump. The solenoid with the blue wire from the pump motor is the up solenoid. You can jump the two top studs on it to see if the pump raises the OD. If it does; replace the solenoid.

Why won't my hydraulics lift? ›

Hydraulic lift tables need oil to extend the cylinders. If there is little or no oil left in the hydraulic unit, the cylinders do not extend and the platform of the lift table does not lift. Top up oil through the filler neck of the tank. Make sure that all cylinders are fully retracted.

Why is my boat lift motor not working? ›

If the boat lift motor fails to start, you could be looking at problems with the power supply, a switch, or a bad start capacitor. If the motor will run if you move it by hand it's likely the start capacitor. A screeching noise may indicate a lubrication problem, while a humming noise points to electrical problems.

Why won't my boat motor rev up? ›

The common culprits discussed below include: -A spun propeller -Boat propeller entangled with debris -Fuel line air leak -Corroded spark plug wiring Additionally, apart from the question of your engine operating at full power, we discuss what might be causing acceleration hesitation.
