Boat Hoist Installation in St. Clair Shores – FAQ
What size boat hoist do I need?
It depends on your boat’s weight, hull type, and beam width. We’ll assess your vessel and recommend a lift with the correct capacity and features.
Can a boat hoist be installed on my existing dock?
In many cases, yes. We evaluate your dock’s strength, orientation, and lakebed conditions to ensure it can support a hoist system safely and effectively.
How do I maintain my boat hoist?
Routine inspection, cable lubrication, lift adjustments, and winterization are essential. We offer maintenance packages and seasonal service to ensure peak performance.
Are hoists suitable for winter use?
Boat hoists are generally not used during Michigan winters. We recommend removing or winterizing your system to protect it from ice damage. We offer seasonal removal/reinstallation services.
