General Questions

Do I need stainless steel cable or galvanized cable?


Stainless steel is recommended.

Do slings pinch boats?


If upper pulleys can be properly spaced, slings provide adequate support. Frequently, boat house owners will get a new boat and never adjust the upper pulleys for any difference in size. Most people get larger boats over time. The result: the boat owner stores his or her boat inside a lift system that is too small for the boat. The result is pinching.

I would like to put a cradle in my overhead lift, but I've heard that I might not have enough water depth in my slip.  How much water do I need?

18 to 24 inches minimum water depth is required, depending on the draft of the boat.
