Billfo Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Can standard trailer SIDE bunks be installed on a typical boat lift ? Sure would be easier for me to center the boat on the lift without having to push & pull by hand each time. Thanks for your opinions & thanks even more to someone who has done it ! Bill *side bunks similar to pictured below. Email me Red-Right-Returning is for quitters !
rps Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I do not have them myself, but several of the folks with lifts here at Holiday Island have them.
Billfo Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 Thanks for your reply ! I am pretty sure I will give a set a try.. Need to get back to the lake to take some measurements..like how deep underwater if at all would they be when list is fully lowered. I think if I mount them to the lift while the boat is "UP" on the lift , then I should be fine when lowered. After solving this left/right centering issue all I need is a bow stop to stop the lower unit from hitting the lift.. THEN anyone can deploy & return the boat to the lift. (ie: wife & kids) I do not have them myself, but several of the folks with lifts here at Holiday Island have them. Email me Red-Right-Returning is for quitters !
rps Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Does your troll motor extend past the gunnel? If so, be sure the mount does not create a road block when up or down.
Billfo Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 I will keep that in mind.. Thanks. I expect to go back to the lake house in September. I will mount them then & post some pics.
