FIG 10: Left Winch Post Installation View 

INSTALL OUTER ARM 

The outer arm can be installed in a variety of 
configurations. See Fig 12. The outer arm is the 
transition piece between the inner arm and the lift 
motor. In the next step, you will mount the lift motor 
in roughly the 10 or 2 o’clock position. The outer arm 
position will dictate the lift motor’s final position 
against the wheel. 

 

Note: There may be some trial and error that 
occurs during this step and the next one.  

1. Review Fig. 12. The outer arm can bolt on in a 
variety of positions. The end goal is to mount the lift 
motor arm (next step) onto this arm and have the 
motor’s rubber wheel touching the lift wheel at 
roughly the 10 or 2 o’clock position.  

Note:  On some installs, the arm may need to be 
positioned downward so the motor is mounting 
in the 2 or 4:00 o’clock position. 

2. View the miscellaneous drawings/photos on 
pages 10-12 for specific arm positions on the 
different types of lifts on the market today. By 
utilizing the nine holes in both the inner arm and 
outer arm, you can adjust the length and angle 
positioning of the arms to fit almost any boatlift.

 

The 

4 holes in the outer arm will place the outer arm at 
15º or 45º.

 

3. Bolt the outer arm 

behind

 and to the inner arm 

using the (2) 5/16” x 3 1/2” bolts, nuts, and washers. 
See Fig. 10. The pivot hole on the outer arm should 
be at least 3”, but not more than 8” from the outer 
edge of the winch wheel.  

Note:  On some installs, the outer arm may need 
to go in front of the inner arm.  If your boat lift 
requires a shorter arm length than our standard 
holes allow, drill (2) 5/16” holes where needed in 
and lowering the arms will help.

The Outer Arm can be installed in many configurations. The 
outer arm is the transition piece between the inner arm and 
the lift motor. In the next step, you will mount the lift motor in 
roughly the 10 or 2 o’clock position. The outer arm position 
will dictate where the lift motor’s final position will be.
