Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

  • Cable replacement and re-spooling
  • Motor and gearbox repair or replacement
  • Bunk and cradle rebuilds
  • Control box and switch repair

Common lift problems

Most lift failures trace back to cables, power, or marine growth.

  • Cables fraying, tangling, or going slack on descent
  • Motor humming but not lifting: usually the gearbox
  • Lift raising unevenly, one end higher than the other
  • Barnacle buildup binding the pulleys and cradle
  • Control box corrosion from salt exposure

Why it matters

Annual service prevents the expensive failures

Cables are the cheapest part of a lift and the one that strands a boat when it snaps.

Yearly service (cable inspection, greasing, and growth removal) costs a fraction of a motor replacement or a dropped boat.

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.

What a free inspection includes

A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.

You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.

  • On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
  • Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
  • Written estimate with scope and materials
  • Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
