Boat Lift Motor

No experience with the Lift Mate brand specifically. However, I have the actual Shore Station brand AC110 friction motor for my lift up north and we have the 12V version at the ski club. Both work really well. The AC version is probably 10X faster cranking but both are far, far better than cranking manually.

I don't have much experience with boat lifts but you'll want a 120, preferably 220. And ALWAYS make sure everything on dock is GFIC like Quinner said.

Update.......

I decided to go with the 110V AC Lift Tech Marine Wheel Motor with a dealer out of Michigan. The dealer gave me a great deal since it was unused 2012 model with warrenty in the box sitting on its shelf. The sales rep was great to work with and propt to any questions I may have, as an engineer, there were a lot . Well the bad news, I open up the box and was inspecting the motor lift and notice one of the electrical wires was cut, crimped together and seperated Also one of the motor screws was loose. I was pissed so I contacted the dealer and they apologized left and right and was willing to discount further or return the motor lift on their dime. Before attempting to repair/replace the wire, I decided to tie the wires together to see if the motor will turn over but was unable to get the motor to turn over.

Good news....

Since I knew the dealer would cover all cost on returning and I had nothing to loose, I decided to contact the manufacture Lift Tech to get their recommendations and boy am I glad I did I send them all the pictures, description of what happen and without any hesitation they made arrangements with UPS to pick up the motor the next day. Then, Lift Tech was going to replace the entire unit with their newest design wheel motor and mounting system for my shore ststion lift. I was shocked and surprised how this company took quick action. So this is a shout out to Lift Tech Customer Service and I appreciate it

Wanted to share incase anyone is on fence of purchasing a lift motor.
