To adjust the HydroHoist HarborHoist Triton lift to lower a boat that is 18–24 inches too far back, you need to reposition the boat so the Center of Buoyancy (CB) is within 1 foot (12 inches) forward or aft of the lift's CB. Since the boat is too far back, move the boat forward on the lift until its CB aligns within that limit. This ensures a level lift and proper balance. If the vessel is a service type with auxiliary tanks, you may also need to adjust the auxiliary tank locations. Contact customer support if needed.

Damage to your lift or vessel can result from improper initial setup of the system. Consult a HydroHoist Certified Installer for initial setup and support. • Installation and service should be performed by a qualified service professional. • To avoid the risk of electric shock make sure the control is disconnected from any power supply during installation.

Tie-Off Mooring Information (Mooring ropes not included) Tie the lift off using a tie-off method similar to mooring a boat in a slip. The goal is to restrain the lift as much as possible but still leaving enough slack in the lines that the lift can still raise and lower properly. Use a good mooring rope that has enough strength for the size of boat and lift you are installing.

Vessel Loading • Proper loading of your vessel onto the lift is extremely important! • Failure to load properly could cause improper lifting of your vessel. Verify that the equipment Center of Buoyancy (CB) weight is distributed evenly on the vessel to keep the within manufacturer’s limits.
