5 Quick Tips to Keep Your Boat Lift in Top Shape

 Your boat lift protects your investment—so keeping it in good condition is essential. Here are five quick maintenance tips to extend its life and avoid costly repairs:

  1. Inspect & Clean Regularly: Check for rust, corrosion, and wear on cables and pulleys. Rinse with fresh water after each use, especially in saltwater, to prevent buildup.

  2. Lubricate Moving Parts: Use a marine-grade lubricant on winches, pulleys, and gears. Clean off dirt and old grease before applying new lubricant.

  3. Check & Replace Cables: Look for frays, kinks, or rust. Even if they seem fine, replace lift cables every 2–3 years to avoid sudden failure.

  4. Maintain Electrical Components: If your lift is electric, inspect wires and test the motor regularly. Watch for signs of corrosion or slow operation.

  5. Winterize in Off-Season: Remove your boat, lower the lift to reduce cable tension, and cover it. In extreme climates, consider disassembly.

  6. Final Tip: Have a pro inspect your lift annually to catch issues early. A little maintenance now can save you big later!
