PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION
The Lift Mate is designed to mount on most
manufacturers’ boatlifts. As a result of its
compatibility with all lifts, your first task is to review
your particular lift against the assembly instructions
included here.
Review the following bullets. Do not proceed with
the installation until you have a general
understanding of how you are going to install your
unit.
●
The Lift Mate mounts onto the winch lift post.
Locate the winch post on your lift.
See Fig. 2 & 3.
●
Stand on your dock in front of your lift. Determine if
your winch lift post is a left mount or a right mount.
See Fig. 2 & 3.
●
Note that the Lift Mate motor is mounted so that it
is between the left and right lift posts.
See Fig. 1,2, & 3.
●
Also note that the motor rests against the lift wheel
at roughly the 10 or 2 o’clock position. This allows
the weight of the motor to rest against the wheel
and aid in traction. See Fig. 1,2,& 3.
●
Note that when properly mounted on the winch
post of the lift, the Lift Mate rubber traction wheel
is closest to the dock and the motor is closest to
the boat. See Fig. 4.
•
The motor has two drain holes. The motor is
correctly mounted when the drain holes are on the
bottom side of the motor. Rainwater will seep into
the motor if the motor is mounted with drain holes
on top.
