Q. Is power required for all boat lift?

A. Generally the answer is yes if there is an electric winch; however, the hydraulic lift can operate off solar.  It should be noted that  a manual winch can be a lengthy and strenuous effort to lift the boat or jet ski.  The increasing size of the new jet skis is making the electric option  more of a necessity.

Q. Can ice damage all boat lifts.

A. Yes . Spring breakup when ice is moving around is when boat lifts are most vulnerable. Bubbling is the  common approach to manage the ice risk. In Muskoka most boat lift owners leave their boat lifts in the water and manage the risk. Your location and water depth is an important consideration.
