Proper installation is critical to the safe operation and long-term performance of your boat lift. On this page, you’ll find boat lift installation instructions and manuals organized by product type, making it easy to locate the correct documentation for your specific lift model.
Each manual provides step-by-step guidance, recommended tools, and best practices to help ensure your lift is installed correctly and operates as intended.
Before You Begin: What You’ll Need
Before starting installation, confirm the following details to ensure you’re using the correct instructions and preparing your site properly:
Boat lift model and capacity

Dock type and configuration
Water depth and bottom conditions
Having this information ready helps prevent installation issues and ensures the lift is matched correctly to your boat and dock.
