• Will fit ANY boat lift that has a wheel (with the proper adaptor installation kit). Up to 7,000 pound capacity.

• AC 120 Volt Option- (Standard House Current) for use on GFCI circuit power at the shoreline or dock.

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS UTILIZE A GFCI- PROTECTED 110V POWER SOURCE WHEN NEAR WATER!

• DC 24V Option- System for use with 24V Solar/ Battery Kit, sold separately, below.

• The RED L.E.D. will continue to flash on and off while hooked up to AC power. This is normal. When you first start to operate the system, the RED L.E.D. will stay on for about 2 seconds then go off. This is normal. When operating the system in the up mode and the RED L.E.D. stays on, this means that the current limit has been reached and this will shorten the life of your system.

• Installs in 20 minutes or less.

• Available with corded remote option (for lifts with canopies) or manual key version for lifts without canopies.

• Lift Tech Marine offers a 2 year warranty against manufacture defects on all of our boat lift motors!

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 Boss- Direct Drive Boat Lift/ Hoist Motors

Note - motors requre an installation kit. The different boat lift brands have different winch-axle splines, and therefore require a variety of unique adaptors.

We only carry install kits for Max Lifts, Summit Marine Lifts and the 4.5" wide- winch Shore Station Brand (2500lb - 4000lb capacity).

The price of the install kits is included in the motor prices, as posted above.  

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.

Quick and easy to install and features a two-year replacement warranty. See the manufacturer's fantastic installation video below to see just how easy it is to install these motors in just minutes!

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.

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

$430.00 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.*
