Overview and Terminology

ShoreStation piling-mounted and roof-mounted systems have 4

main components: the Hydraulic Power Unit, Lift tubes, Platform,

and Bunks. The components are illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure

2 Figure 2below.

(800) 859-3028
The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) is a 24 VDC powered

hydraulic system (Figure 2). This system converts the electric

power stored within the batteries into hydraulic pressure. The

pressure is delivered to the lift tube through hoses and causes

the lift cylinders inside the lift tubes to retract.
Power Unit
Batteries
Figure 2 - Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU300 shown)
The retract motion pulls the lift cables and generates the lifting

motion of the boat lift platform. The internal structure of the lift

tubes is show in Figure 3.

The system charge is maintained by either a solar panel or an

A/C powered Battery Tender®. The charge source should be

constantly connected to the lift batteries. The lift can operate

without the charging source present, but permanent battery

damage could result if the batteries are run too low.

The ShoreStation FlexPower boat lifts come standard with two

operating controls: Wireless and Dock Box. The Wireless

system allows you to operate the lift remotely but should only be

used when you have clear vision of the entire lift and

surroundings. The Dock Box provides a hard-wired control of

Loading Your Boat into the Lift

Step 1 – Lower the lift
Before loading your boat into

the lift, be sure the platform

has been lowered into the

water deep enough to ensure

the boat will float over the top

of the cradle and support

bunks. It is a good idea to use

tape to mark the lift cables.

This mark should be placed to

refer to the water line when

the platform is at sufficient

depth. This reference mark is helpful if your lift is in an area

where the tide changes

the water level.

WARNING

If you are approaching

the lift in the boat,
