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.
