Floating objects on water may seem obvious but the Boat Lift Helper is the first product of its kind to simplify the task of boat lift installation and provide you with the tool to get the task done effortlessly. The Boat Lift Helper floats to the rescue; finally there is an easy way to move that heavy boat lift. No more clumsy, heavy, pushing mucky tires across sandy, rocky, muddy or weedy lake bottoms.

By hand, fasten the universal brackets that are fitted into the Boat Lift Helper’s air-lift-bags to your boat lift bottom beams. Our brackets fit almost all manufacturers’ boat lifts; we can provide specialty bracket adaptors for unusual fits. Follow the simple, easy step-by-step instructions to attach the hoses and fittings. The only tool needed is a knife to cut the air hoses to fit your boat lift. That’s it; you’re ready to go boating!

No expensive air compressor is needed to inflate the airbags. The Boat Lift Helper only requires less than 3 P.S.I. of air pressure (2.5 P.S.I. is required for proper boat lift flotation) which is easily achieved with the same low priced pumps you probably already use to inflate floats, tubes and other lake toys. There is no worry if your pump puts out more than 3 P.S.I. the Boat Lift Helper has a built in relief valve to release the extra pressure.

You may think that huge bags would be required to hoist your big boat lift off the lake bottom, but that’s why we figured it out for you. This is the same material that the military uses to raise sunken heavy equipment from ocean bottoms and the Boat Lift Helper’s air-lift-bags can raise your boat lift weighing up to 800 pounds. Optional air-lift-bags are available if your lift weighs more than 800 pounds.

The air-lift-bags require less than
3 P.S.I. to inflate. Simple air compressors is all that is required for inflation (minimum 2.5 P.S.I. recommended).


If you don't own a compressor
one can be added to your kit.

When inflated Boat Lift Helper will allow you and a friend to glide your boat lift with one hand.

Once you have attached the Boat Lift Helper to your lift, simply move your boat lift into the water and inflate the air-lift-bags. When inflated a cushion of air will allow you and a friend to glide your boat lift with one hand! When your lift is where you want it, release the air from the bags. You are done! That’s all there is to it!

Leave the Boat Lift Helper attached to your boat lift in case water levels change during the season. Simply refill the air-lift-bags and glide your boat lift into a new position. Use the Boat Lift Helper again at the end of the season to easily remove your lift from the water.
