STEP 6(a): ALIGNING THE TANKS Side Alignment 1. Align the tanks next to each other, five on each side, spacing them so the mooring rings are 68.25” apart. You may want to use the full-length hull support bracket as a straight-edge to align the tanks. The hull support bracket is used in a later step.
Page 17
3. Perform Steps 6(b) and (c). Verify equal length diagonals as you build from tank Set 1 to tank. Set 5 as shown below to ensure they are square. 4. After confirming the lift is square and all assembly for Steps 6(b) and (c) are completed, tighten all hardware completely.

STEP 7(a): HULL PAD ALIGNMENT (V-HULL ONLY) Before installing the hull pads, it is important to determine the bunk spacing: how far apart the hull pads should be mounted on the cross beams. To calculate the proper spacing, refer to the table below. Consult your boat manufactur- er for dead rise information.

STEP 7(c): ASSEMBLY OF THE HULL PADS (V-HULL ONLY) 1. The finished hull pad is 28’. This is completed by connecting one of the 22’ angled Hull Pads and one 6’ bunk us- ing the included connection kit. 2. Using half (2 Brackets & 8 Bolts) of the connection kit, connect the short and long sections to construct 1 full Hull Pad.

STEP 14: TIE-OFF MOORING (MOORING ROPES NOT INCLUDED) Tie off the lift using a method similar to mooring a boat in a slip. The goal is to restrain the lift as much as possible while leaving enough slack in the lines to allow the lift to raise and lower properly. NOTE: Use a good mooring rope with enough strength for the size of boat and lift being installed.

Commissioning the Lift Damage to the lift or vessel can result from improper initial setup of the system. Consult a HydroHoist® approved installer for initial setup and support. • Installation and service should be performed by a qualified service professional.
Page 34
STEP 18: COMMISSIONING THE LIFT Perform the following steps after the lift has been installed, WITHOUT a vessel on the hoist. 1. Raise the hoist until all main tanks are bubbling air. Stop the hoist. 2. Verify the frame is out of the water and the walkways are parallel to the surface of the water. 3.

HydroHoist®. Re-installation, adjusting the bunks, and/or adjusting the tank beam spacing must be performed to the standards of HydroHoist®. It is the obligation of the End User to inform all equipment operators of the above conditions. Additional Owner Manuals and Safety Warning Decals are available by request.

A1: Lifting Information 1. Verify your lifting equipment has capacity for the weight of the HarborHoist™. See Table 1 for weight of lift. 2. You will need four straps that can support the load fastened around the Cross Channels outside the Hull Pads, and then attached to a crane or fork lift.
