Lift Tech Boat Lift Motors- Direct Drive

Lift Tech Direct-Drive Motors are our go-to when selecting a lift motor! They are the most popular option in our region and most respected motor company on the market; with the easy installation and overall user-friendliness! Any professional lift/ dock installer will be familiar with these systems.

• Will fit ANY boat lift that has a wheel (with the proper winch brand-specific installation kit, sold separately). Up to 7,000 pound capacity.

• Motor installation takes less than an hour for most customers (varies depending on your winch brand) and we generally prefer them over hydraulic boat lifts for most situations (hydraulic lifts crank up and down faster, run quieter and use less power; but are far more expensive, MUCH heavier than standard lifts, have significantly higher service/ replacement costs and FAR more potential downtime during service periods versus direct-drive electric motors mounted on a winch box on a standard boat lift

• ACM (AC Manual) and DCM (DC Manual) Motors feature a physical key to operate the motor from the dockside once everyone unloads from the boat for safe and proper lifting; but are available and typically used with the optional 20 ft. corded pendant remote option added (for lifts with canopies to hang down next to the captain's seat, can be simpler and more reliable versus wireless remotes) to allow the captain to operate the lift quickly and safely stabilize the boat to unload passengers while it is still semi-buoyant (to prevent lift-overloading) while still allowing the captain to remain at the helm until the boat is emptied, then to safely exit as well before finishing raising the boat lift from the dockside via the physical key operation on the motor to get the boat up to storage height.

• ACR (AC Remote) and DCR (DC Remote) Gen 2 Motors include two wireless remotes, a free Bluetooth- Controlled App for cell phone app-based motor operation/ control and motor diagnostics, plus feature a keypad on the motor itself for dockside operation without needing the remotes or your cell phone handy. Wireless Remote Motors are the most popular and user-friendly option allowing you to move around on the dock as you are raising it (we always recommend to stay nearby the boat for safety's sake and to spot any potential issues while raising, which is why we don't recommend Auto-Stop options as it could be a safety hazard if a child or someone were to get themselves in a bad spot accidentally while automatically raising; but also due to how many people innocently forget to fully lower their wake tower/ pontoon bimini tops before hitting the button and walking away, smashing into their canopy and often crushing their tower/ bimini's navigation light).

• AC motors can be a bit more reliable from our experience by eliminating battery-related issues (9.8/10 times we get calls, the batteries are the problem, sometimes even when they are 6-12 months old) and are cheaper up front as well as additional savings in the long run; the motors themselves are typically cheaper than the DC versions, plus you can skip the solar kit and also skip buying two new batteries every 3-5 years as they wear out.
  • AC Motors require a GFCI 120V outlet at your shoreline with 20 amp circuit breaker recommended, utilizing a minimum of 12/3 Gauge extension cord within a maximum of 150 ft. of extension-cord length (a 70 ft. dock length can easily use up 150 ft. of cord depending on your outlet's proximity to the dock location) with at least 108V coming out from your extension cord where you plug the motor in. Always consult with and/or hire a licensed, professional electrician if you are unsure about your power source specs or potential installation of a new outlet!

• DC Motors can operate as either 12V or 24V, but we always recommend 24V due to significantly faster cranking speed! Based on customer feedback, we only offer 24V- 20W Solar Panel Kits as nearly everyone who thought they didn't care about the speed and opted to buy 12V-10W solar systems we used to offer as an option, ended up regretting skimping on the second battery (and 24V-20W solar kit) after experiencing the speed. Solar kits are sold separately, below, and require the customer to separately purchase two 12V Deep-Cycle Marine Series/ Group (Size) 24 Batteries and Two Plastic Battery Storage Cases for Series 24 Batteries.

Lift Tech Direct-Drive Motors

Lift Tech direct-drive motors set the standard for 'electric boat lifts' as many people call them. Some brands offer integrated motor options from the factory (nearly every major brand utilizes LiftTech motors in some form inside of their integrated winch boxes), typically at a greatly inflated price with the only benefit being a slightly cleaner look. If the motor ever has an issue, that may mean replacing the entire winch and motor (or at least requiring any work to be done by a qualified brand dealer representative due to complexity) which can be very expensive. We prefer these in most applications over hydrualic-cable hybrid lifts, which have a much heavier package (and lopsided weight), are much more expensive to buy and far more expensive to service if you cannot perform the labor yourself and are using genuine parts, versus a motor that can be replaced by nearly anyone with 2 wrenches and 20 minutes of time to be back up and running!

The preferred alternative is to add a stand-alone Lift Tech motor to any standard boat lift with a manual crank winch, which can be added in less than an hour, or swapped out by just about anyone in 20 minutes with a ratchet and wrench. Motors can be added at the time of purchase, or anytime later if you give the manual winch a shot and decide that cranking your boat up and down 4 times a day on the weekend is not your favorite thing to do. These motors can handle any boat lift capacity up to 7,000lbs.

BOAT LIFT BUDDY- WHEEL-ASSIST LIFT MOTOR

by EXTREME MAX

An economical and reliable way to power a boat lift for boats up to 3,500lbs.! The universal, winch wheel to motor wheel design fits most all brands of boat lifts up to 3,600# weight capacity (larger lifts with heavier boats require the above direct-drive motor systems). With a simple bungee-tensioning system, you can easily disconnect the bungee and flip the motor out of the way to rapidly crank the wheel up by hand to quickly stabilize the boat on wavy or windy lakes, then simply reconnect the bungee to motor the boat lift to the desired resting height!

The 12V DC version comes with a 15' cable to connect to your boat's 12V battery (in theory if long enough, though it depends on your battery location relative to the winch on your lift, or 5 ft. extensions can be purchased), a stand-alone battery on the dock (recommended, simply charage the battery in the garage periodically and save your boat battery and expense/hassle of solar kits) or a 12V solar kit (sold separately, usually a direct drive motor is a better option at that point unless you want to keep your crank wheel), while the 120V AC unit is ready to plug into your 110v GFI-protected dock power outlet.

Boat Lift Buddy- DC 12V Wheel Motor # 3006.4550   $947 plus tax

Boat Lift Buddy- AC 120V Wheel Motor # 3006.4553  $947 plus tax

Solar Kits

Solar kits come complete with everything you need except a battery & black plastic battery storage case (Marine Deep Cycle 12V-Series 24 size).  Our kits are easy to install with clear instructions and labeled wires with numbered plug-ends. Solar panels are mounted in aluminum anodized frames with sealed tempered glass, built for years of outdoor use.

We only recommend the 24V system (requires TWO deep-cycle marine batteries and black plastic cases- sold at Walmart, Costco, Sam's, Menards, Etc.) as the 12V system with only one battery is simply too slow for most customers. The 24V system provides a much faster lift motor speed for those running a direct-drive motor system.

Kits include: solar panel, universal adjustable panel-mounting bracket, pre-wired w/ 20' of wire & 3/8" terminals, post mount universal battery tray. Note: 20w 12v systems include a voltage controller. A 20w 24v systems does not need a controller and is therefore cheaper, not factoring the additional necessary battery. 

Recommended For Direct-Drive Motors:

20w 24V Solar Panel Kit with Panel Bracket & Canopy Mount Dual Canopy Tray-

$455.00 plus 6% tax

*Requires Two 12V Deep Cycle Marine- Series 24 Size Batteries & Plastic Storage Cases- NOT Included!- Can Be Found At Walmart, Sam's, Costco, Menards, Etc.*

SUPERIOR Universal Vertical Guide-Ons (HD-VGOs)
