Step 1 - Lift Cradle Positioning
Lower the boat lift cradle to its lowest position until there is no
tension on the cable. Secure boat with rope so it doesn’t float
away.
Step 2 - Removing the Wheel &
Braking System
To remove the wheel from the boat lift, remove the fastener
from the center of the wheel. Turn the wheel counterclockwise
until it unthreads from the winch box.
If the winch is equipped with a brake that makes an audible
clacking sound, it needs to be unbolted and removed.
This is the current braking system on the winch box and MUST
be removed or disabled or damage may occur. Boat Lift Boss
™
has a built-in braking system.
Remove 7/8” Bronze Washer from winch input shaft and save
for future use if a hand wheel is required.
