INSTALLATION AND SETUP
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
1. Insure you have received all specified parts as listed in supplied parts list.
2. Consult licensed professional engineer to inspect and approve boathouse structure for this type of application and
loading capacity.
WARNING:
INSURE BOATHOUSE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR THIS TYPE OF
APPLICATION AND CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL BUILDING AND
ELECTRICAL CODES TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY AND / OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE.
3. Do not install or use the lift if it shows any signs of damage.
4. Do not weld or otherwise modify any part of the lift or power drive. Such alterations may damage the lift and / or
power drive and void the associated warranties.
5. Two people will be needed to mount the power drive into the boathouse. The following precautions must be observed
when lifting any part of this equipment:
a. Be sure of your footing.
b. Bend your knees and lift with your legs.
c. Hold the equipment section close to your body when lifting.
WARNING:
USE A MINIMUN OF TWO PERSONS TO INSTALL THE POWER DRIVE INTO THE
BOATHOUSE TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
LIFT ASSEMBLY
Supporting beams must be installed to the spacing required by the boat to be lifted. The hangers will fit beams 6”
wide by 6” to 9” deep.
1. Assemble #37X and #38X hangers and clamps to each corner of the boathouse beams about 6” wider than the beam of
the boat.
2. Using 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 pressure treated wood planks, construct two mounting bases for the power drives. Center them on
the fore and aft beams between the hangers.
3. Temporarily clamp the power drive to the wood mounting base and position it so that the centerlines of the speed
reducers are askew to the centerlines of the two boathouse beams. Ensure that the power drive is positioned to that the
winch spools are at right angles to the wire rope line pull. Refer to the reeving diagram.
4. When the power drive is positioned properly, drill two 1/2” holes through the wood mounting base using the power
drive frame as a template. Fasten the frame in place with the supplied 1/2” hardware, reference part # 8, 9 and 10.
5. Remove pipe plugs on sides of the reducers closest to the ceiling of boathouse and install supplied vent plugs.
CAUTION:
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE VENT PLUG CAN CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE
REDUCER SEALS AFTER EXTENDED USE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
6. Mount the reversing switches in a suitable location protected from water and near enough to each other to allow for
easy operation.
7. Assemble safety latches to ends of hooks. Attach hooks to plain double blocks with shackles.
8. Attach pulley blocks to all hangers as shown in diagram.
9. Reeve the wire rope through the blocks and spools as shown. Be careful to wind the rope in tight, even layers on the
spools. If the wire rope is wound properly from the beginning it will not kink or break the wire strands. Secure cable
ends with wire rope clamps.
10. Attach the slings or I-beam cradles to the lifting blocks per their instruction.
11. Refer to Power Supply Connections Section Before Proceeding.
12. Pull the boat into the lift and raise it up slowly. If one corner tightens before the others, lower the boat.
13. Slide some wire rope through the loop in the spool from the loose corner toward the tight one to level the boat. If the
blocks twist on themselves when unhooked, loosen the cable clamps at the block and unwind the wire rope until the
block hangs straight. Retighten the clamps.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
1. Insure power supply is compatible with motor nameplate ratings. The motor must be connected to a properly rated
branch circuit to help minimize voltage drops during operation.
WARNING:
THE POWER DRIVE AND SUPPLY LINE MUST BE INSTALLED AND INSPECTED BY A
CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
BECAUSE WATER AND ELECTRICITY ARE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS, THIS
INSTALLATION MUST INCLUDE A PROPERLY WORKING GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER. (G.F.C.I.)
Use the following wire sizing guide in wiring the power drive.

CAUTION:
THE ABOVE CHART IS ONLY A REFERENCE FOR WIRE SIZING. DO NOT USE THIS
INFORMATION TO ACTUALLY SIZE THE WIRE TO YOUR POWER DRIVE. YOU MUST
CONSULT A LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR WHO WILL DETERMINE THE
ACTUAL WIRE SIZE REQUIRED TO SUIT YOUR PARTICULAR APPLICATION.
2. Use plastic zip ties and any other supplies needed to tie off the electrical cords. This protects the cords from abrasion,
sharp objects, water contact and other harm.
