Choosing the right boat lift hoist, boat lift remote, or boat lift accessories is a decision not taken lightly. Many of these products are not just about convenience, they're very much about function. Selecting the right boat hoist with the correct weight capacity or choosing to automate the lift with a GEM remote are just a couple decisions that need to be made. These choices come down to your specific needs and how you plan to approach storing and lifting your boat when not in use. Things to consider are...

• The weight of your boat will determine the power and boat lift motors needed to hoist it
• The length of your boat will determine the bunks or boat slings needed
• Is your slip open or covered
• Do you want a hand held switch or an automated GEM remote with key fob transmitter
• What type of boat do you have or do you need a PWC lift or ramp

These are the factors that go into making the right decision. Having good information and the right guidance can come from a dock expert or a local contractor who will more than likely end up doing the installation for you.
