When Repair Makes Sense:
If the frame is solid and the issue is isolated—like a bad motor, frayed cable, or faulty remote—a repair is often quick and cost-effective. Replacing individual components can give your system new life.
When to Replace:
Go for full replacement if:
Your lift is over 20 years old
Major components are rusted, bent, or failing
You can’t find parts or need constant repairs
Your boat has outgrown the lift’s capacity
New lifts are stronger, safer, and often smarter (hello, remote controls with app support!).
Easy Maintenance Tips:
Clean, grease, and inspect key parts regularly
Check cables, pulleys, and switches before each season
Test the motor and remote monthly
Final Thought:
If the problem is small, fix it. If it’s chronic, or your lift is outdated, replace it. Either way, regular maintenance is your best insurance against expensive headaches.
