PONTOON CRADLE PAD BUNKS
Cradle pad pontoon bunks are great for water
depths as low as two feet. The four pairs of pads
support the pontoons in the front and rear. Four
guide-ins help you land the pontoon effortlessly.
When lowering the bunks, ensure guide-ins are
above the water to guide you in. See assembly
instructions on how to set and adjust bunks.

If the lift is in shallow water and after nal adjustment the
bottom ends of the bunks stick too far below the main lift
beam, they may need to be cut off ush so that they do
not hit the lake bottom and prevent the lift from lowering
completely.
PONTOON FULL LENGTH BUNK/
GUIDE-IN SYSTEM FOR TWIN
& TRI-TOONS
Specially designed for pontoon boats, FLOE’s
pontoon guide-in/bunk system provides excellent
guidance for a craft entering the lift. Construct-
ed of aluminum and composite, this kit (when
correctly installed) functions to both guide the
boat into the lift and then raise and support the
craft by its frame.
DETERMINING HEIGHT FOR
PONTOON BUNK/GUIDE-IN SYSTEM
As a general rule, when entering or exiting the
lift, the top of the bunk/guide-in system should
be approximately 5 1/2” out of the water and
there should be 1/2” of clearance between the
side of the oat and the guide edge of the bunk
system. See Fig. 43. When raised, the bunks
should carry the weight of the boat by supporting
the pontoon boat frame and the pontoons should
clear the main cradle lift beams by at least one
inch. (Fig. 44).
The assembly instructions packaged with the kit
provide more detailed information on installation
and adjustment.
