Summer Preparation Checklist
Dock & Hoist Readiness:
Inspect docks and hoists for wear from the previous season and identify any needed repairs before installation
Boat & Hoist Adjustments:
Schedule hoist adjustments for new boats, confirm bunks, guides, and canopy uprights are positioned correctly and protect your boat, equipment, and family
Canopy Installation:
Provide advance notice for scheduling, notify us of any boat delivery date changes. Canopies are installed after the boat is on the hoist
Timing Tips:
Don’t wait until April or May—get on the list early
Installs begin as soon as ice is safely off the lake
To help protect your equipment and ensure smooth seasonal transitions, we encourage customers to plan installations and removals early. Dock and hoist systems are exposed to significant environmental stress throughout the year, including ice movement, water level changes, and heavy seasonal use.
