Tie off the lift using a method similar to mooring a boat in a slip. The goal is to restrain the lift as much as
possible while leaving enough slack in the lines to allow the lift to raise and lower properly.
NOTE: Use a good mooring rope with enough strength for the size of boat and lift being installed. Use a
minimum rope diameter of
3/8”
for boats up to
25’, 1/2”
for boats up to
35’,
and
5/8”
for boats up to
45’.
There are several variables involved in rope selection and tie
-
off locations, so check the mooring regularly for any
changes in rope condition, tie
-
off points, etc.
Be sure that all tie
-
off points are in good condition and structurally sound enough to handle the load the mooring will
apply. We recommend Double Braid Nylon Dock lines.
