VERTICAL GUIDES
The FLOE vertical guide-in system is designed to
guide the boat by its rub rail so it never touches or
mars the hull. It has an innite adjustment range
limited only by the width of the lift, to allow for a
perfect t. These are available in pairs of double
guides or pairs of single guides. See Figs. 47-48.
SELECTING YOUR VERTICAL PVC
GUIDE-INS
Technically, two pairs of single guides would help
safely guide the boat into the lift. However, FLOE
recommends at least one pair of double guides
for the lift’s entry because this style has two
vertical guides mounted ahead of the lift
structure. The boat’s initial impact with these
outset guides will slow it and start to guide the
craft by its rub rail before it even enters the lift.
Always enter the
lift slowly to avoid
any severe impact.
Severe impact could
cause damage to
the guide system, lift
or boat.
