Maintenance and Repairs of Boatlifts
Just like your dock and seawall, proper maintenance of your boat lift is essential.
Regular maintenance and repair will maintain the value of your waterfront property.
Seasonal weather change and regular daily use will cause wear to your boat lift motor.
Note for our Northern friends – If your region experiences a colder season or freezing temperatures, it is best to remove and store the motor and drive for this period.
