Boat Lift Motor Replacement
A burned-out or seized lift motor is one of the most common calls we receive from Fort Myers boat owners. We carry a range of compatible motors and can swap yours out dockside without pulling the boat from the water.
Common Signs You Need Service
Catching a boat lift problem early almost always costs less to fix and prevents the kind of sudden failure that leaves your vessel sitting in the water at low tide. In Southwest Florida's salt-heavy environment, components degrade faster than in freshwater areas, making routine awareness genuinely important.
Slow or Jerky Movement:
If your lift takes noticeably longer to raise or hesitates mid-cycle, the motor, capacitor, or cable tension is likely off. Left alone, a struggling motor will burn out completely.
Unusual Grinding or Squealing:
Metal-on-metal sounds from pulleys or a high-pitched squeal during operation usually point to dry bearings or a misaligned sheave. These sounds rarely go away on their own.
Visible Cable Fraying:
Any broken strands or kinks in the cable are an immediate safety concern. A compromised cable can fail under load, dropping the boat without warning.
Uneven Hull Resting Position:
If your boat sits noticeably lower on one side when lifted, a cradle arm has shifted or a bunk has compressed unevenly. Continued use risks hull stress or gelcoat damage.
