Why it matters
Dry Weight in boat lift planning
Using dry weight alone can understate the real load placed on the lift.
How it connects to controller selection
A controller must work with the complete lift system. Record the lift type, tank count, valve configuration, motor setup, electrical requirements, capacity, and current controller before selecting replacement equipment. Photographs and equipment labels help Guardian verify the configuration.
What to check
Follow the lift and controller manuals, keep people clear during movement, and stop operation when equipment behaves unexpectedly. Electrical work around docks and water should be completed by qualified professionals under applicable codes.
