This document describes the ShoreStation Aluminum Boat Lift, a robust and dependable system designed for years of service. The manual covers four main models: SSV40108MS (Standard Lift), SSV40108MSDW (Standard Deep Water Lift), SSPV40108MS (Pontoon Lift), and SSPV40108MSDW (Pontoon Deep Water Lift). All models are rated for 4000# capacity and feature a 108" aluminum cradle with stainless steel fasteners. A crucial maintenance note for all models is to ALWAYS apply anti-seize to stainless steel fastener threads before assembly to prevent galling or seizing.

The boat lift's primary function is to safely raise and lower a boat or pontoon out of the water, protecting it from elements and simplifying storage. Its design emphasizes durability and ease of assembly, with detailed instructions provided to ensure proper setup. The use of aluminum for the frame and cradle, combined with stainless steel fasteners, ensures resistance to corrosion in marine environments.

Usage Features:

The ShoreStation boat lift is designed for straightforward operation. The manual winch wheel allows for manual lifting and lowering of the boat. The adjustable legs enable the lift to be leveled in varying water depths, ensuring stable operation. The deep water lift models provide extended leg lengths for use in deeper environments. Pontoon-specific cradles ensure proper support for pontoon boats, preventing damage to the pontoons. The motor stop feature adds a layer of safety by preventing over-lifting.

Maintenance Features:

The primary maintenance instruction highlighted is the application of anti-seize to all stainless steel fastener threads during assembly. This is critical for preventing galling or seizing, which can make future disassembly difficult or impossible. The use of durable aluminum and stainless steel components inherently reduces long-term maintenance needs by resisting corrosion. Regular inspection of cables, pulleys, and fasteners is recommended to ensure continued safe and dependable operation. The modular design also facilitates easier replacement of individual components if necessary. For comprehensive maintenance and operational guidelines, users are directed to the SHORESTATION Operators Manual.
