FLOAT & ROLL
The Float & Roll takes the concept behind the
boat lift wheel kit system a step farther. This
system uses oats and wheels to provide easy
installation and removal of the boat lift. It is
especially useful if the lift must be oated into a
slip or cannot be simply rolled into position.
The Float & Roll comes standard with four
molded 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 operation 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
additional information on the Float & Roll, or
any of the lift accessories. To see a Float & Roll
in use, view FLOE’s free marine DVD video,
A Look Into FLOE Dock & Lift Systems,
or watch
it online at www.oeintl.com under “Boat Lift
Accessories – Install/Removal.
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
accommodate a wide variety of boat and
pontoon hulls. Regardless of the style you
select, it is important 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 instruc-
tions for setting up and adjusting the bunks
are included with the bunk system. Ideal bunk
placements are shown on the next page in
Figs. 37 a & b.
Fig. 37c 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.
