Need help?Do you have a question about the ShoreStation SSV30108EAC and is the answer not in the manual?
Position the hoist motor stop assembly centered on the platform and slide arm through U-bolts for desired location.
This document outlines the assembly and maintenance procedures for the ShoreStation SSV30108EAC and SSV30108EACDW hoist systems, which are designed to lift and store boats out of the water. The manual provides detailed diagrams and parts lists to guide users through the installation of various components, ensuring proper functionality and safety.
The core function of these hoists is to provide a stable and secure platform for boat storage, protecting vessels from water damage, marine growth, and environmental exposure when not in use. They are particularly useful for seasonal storage or for owners who wish to keep their boats readily accessible yet out of the water. The system utilizes a V-frame design, constructed primarily from aluminum, which offers durability and resistance to corrosion in marine environments.
The hoist system is designed for ease of operation, featuring an AC-powered winch assembly that facilitates the lifting and lowering of boats. The winch is equipped with a control box and a direct drive motor, ensuring smooth and reliable performance. Safety is a key consideration, with decals providing important operating instructions and warnings, such as maximum load capacity and "not a step" indicators.
The hoist includes adjustable legs, allowing it to adapt to varying water depths and shoreline conditions. For standard installations, the legs offer 20 inches of adjustment, while a "Deep Water" (DW) version is available for deeper water applications, providing 55 inches of adjustment. This adaptability ensures that the hoist can be properly leveled and positioned regardless of the specific site requirements.
The platform assembly incorporates bunk boards, often made of poly material, which cradle the boat's hull, distributing weight evenly and preventing damage. These bunks are adjustable to accommodate different boat hull shapes and sizes. The system also includes a motor stop bundle, which helps position the boat correctly on the hoist, preventing it from overshooting the desired resting place.
Cable routing is a critical aspect of the hoist's operation. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper cable assembly within the winch tube to ensure the system functions correctly and safely. The cables are guided by pulleys and snatch blocks, which are designed to manage the load efficiently during lifting and lowering operations.
While the manual primarily focuses on assembly, it indirectly highlights several maintenance considerations through its detailed component breakdown. The use of stainless steel hardware, such as bushings, pins, and fasteners, indicates a design choice aimed at minimizing corrosion and extending the lifespan of the hoist in a harsh marine environment. Regular inspection of these components for wear or damage would be a crucial maintenance task.
The winch tube assembly, which houses the internal parts and cables, is pre-assembled at the factory. The manual explicitly states that special tools are required for its assembly and recommends contacting a local dealer for any issues, implying that this component is not intended for user-level disassembly or repair. This suggests that maintenance for the winch tube would primarily involve professional servicing to ensure its integrity and proper function.
The detailed parts lists for each section—Lower Frame Assembly, Platform Assembly, Winch Tube, AC Drive Winch Assembly, Bunk Assembly, and Motor Stop—serve as a valuable resource for identifying and ordering replacement parts. This facilitates straightforward repairs and ensures that the hoist can be kept in optimal working condition over time.
The inclusion of a "Hardware Box" as a distinct component suggests that all necessary fasteners and small parts are provided in an organized manner, simplifying initial assembly and potentially future repairs. The emphasis on proper tightening of nuts on U-bolts for the motor stop assembly, for instance, underscores the importance of secure fastening for overall system stability and safety.
Overall, the ShoreStation SSV30108EAC and SSV30108EACDW hoists are designed as robust, adaptable, and user-friendly systems for boat storage. Their construction with corrosion-resistant materials and detailed assembly instructions aim to provide a reliable solution for boat owners, with maintenance largely focused on routine inspections and professional servicing for complex components like the winch tube.
