FLOAT & ROLL
The Float & Roll takes the concept behind the
boat lift wheel kit system a step farther. This sys-
tem uses oats and wheels to provide easy in-
stallation and removal of the boat lift. It is espe-
cially useful if the lift must be oated into a slip or
cannot be simply rolled into position.
The Float & Roll comes standard with four mold-
ed tires, and can either be used separately, or in
conjunction with two pairs of Boat Lift Wheel Kits.
Although the boat lift wheel kits are not required,
the additional tires do not interfere with the op-
eration of the Float & Roll and will add buoyancy
when the lift is in the water.
A detailed instruction manual accompanies the
optional Float & Roll. Contact your dealer for ad-
ditional information on the Float & Roll, or any
of the lift accessories. To see a Float & Roll in
use, view FLOE’s free marine VHS or DVD video,
“A Look Into FLOE Dock & Lift Systems.”
INSTA-FLOAT
This system is similar to the Float & Roll in its
purpose, which is to make the lift installation and
removal process easier, by oating the lift once
in the water. There is, however, one important
difference: The Insta-Float does not have its own
wheels and is designed to be used in conjunction
with two pairs of optional wheel kits.
A Float & Roll may be a better option if it is going
to be used for multiple lifts, or if it needs to be
independently mobile.
Fig. 36 Insta-Float:
Must also have two sets of boat lift wheel kits installed.
Be sure people and objects are clear of the lift
and the leveling leg during adjustment. As the
lift is leveled, the entire lift frame will move,
causing the potential creation of pinch points
between the lift and dock system as well as
the sand pad and lake bottom.

BUNK SELECTION & SET-UP
FLOE offers four different lift bunk styles to ac-
commodate a wide variety of boat and pontoon
hulls. Regardless of the style you select, it is im-
portant that you follow two important rules when
installing the bunk system. 1. If the lift is in shallow
water, make sure that the vertical support tubes
are either set or cut short enough that they do not
hit the lake bottom and prevent the main cradle
lift beams from lowering completely. 2. Always
adjust the height of the bunks so that the boat’s
hull does not touch the main cradle lift beams.
FULL-LENGTH BUNKS
Full length bunks are excellent for stabilizing and
providing superior support for most V-hull, Tri-
hull, and tunnel-hull boats. Detailed instructions
for setting up and adjusting the bunks are includ-
ed with the bunk system. Ideal bunk placements
are shown on the next page in Figs. 37-38. Fig.
39 shows an acceptable, but less desirable bunk
placement.
When using any of the installation and removal
accessories with a power source (such as a boat,
winch, or ATV), if the lift does not move easily, do not
force it. Structural damage to the lift could result.
