The Boat Lift Helper is kick-butt so far.  
Less time rubbing my back and more time to enjoy the lake!

The reality is that installation was super simple. It took my wife and I something like 45 minutes from start to finish and we weren’t even cursing!

My son and I put the lift out in about another 10 minutes. Turns out we did have to move it the next day. In goes the air – move the lift – deflate the air bags. Just awesome!

What a Back Saver
We have 2-3 feet of muck on Thunder Lake and have had difficulty getting our boat lift in and out of the water for years. Since we purchased the boat lift helper, we no longer have these problems - the boat lift now goes in and out of the water with ease. I recommend this product to everyone.

Thanks for this great product!!

We had walked our 5000 lbs. capacity boat lift approximately 100’ along the shore from the dock. Normally it took two of us approximately four hours to move the lift along the shore and then into position. Once we got your system installed and were ready to start the launching of our boat lift my wife said she would go to the house to get the camera. Well when she got back with the camera the lift was already in position. It only took a few minutes to float our unit into position. It was remarkable.

My wife says that your system is the best labor saving and stress reliever ever made. This is really a labor and stress saver innovation that I would recommend to everyone with a lift. WOW. What a great system. Thank you from myself and my wife.  

I truly should have had this years ago!!
I hung a few counterweights on the lift opposite of the motor side, until it was floating evenly. Wiggled it and jiggled it, very sturdy. I floated it out into position with one hand. Once in position, I let air out of front bag and down she came, repeating for rear and there it sits. Knowing now how sturdy it is with the 8 foot bags, when it comes out, I'll float it right from my dock out and around it. Thank you so much for a product that REALLY WORKS LIKE ADVERTISED. I truly should have had this years ago!!

Just wanted to give you a fall update. We took the lift out yesterday and the bags worked like a dream!  It was flat calm and I walked the lift right up to the shore effortlessly.

Oh, by the way, a lot of people saw us taking it out and created quite the stir over how easy it was… I’ll get you some more orders yet!
A very satisfied customer!

This works like a dream!
Hey, we installed the "helper" on my ridiculously heavy lift and it worked great!  Just two of us floated it into position, installed the "mud legs" and dropped it into place.  I had to adjust the mud legs the next day by myself – it popped right out of the mud, I adjusted the height, and dropped it right into position.  This works like a dream!

I liked the way your system worked! 
Install went smooth as did floating the lift.  The 8 footers were [just] what I needed.

Nobody got wet
We assembled the Boat Lift Helper with no problems and got the lift in place with nobody getting wet (other than a few rain drops) -   
What a great solution!

I suspect that some of our neighbors in Waconia might be giving you a call...

Your product made the installation and adjustment of my boat lift incredibly easy.
I followed your advice and instructions, to "offset" the front bag as far as practical to the winch side, and centered the rear bag. The lift floated absolutely level, and only needed one hand to control and move around in the water.

We used an air-mattress pump via the "exhaust" port to inflate it
initially.

Since the lift was "new" to our lake, I had to float & sink it several times in the boat slip to get the legs adjusted to the lake bottom. The "Boat Lift Helper" made this task incredibly easy - just re-inflate one end, adjust, sink, inflate the other end, adjust, sink.

Would recommend it to anyone
My customer was very apprehensive about your product, but after using it he absolutely loves it and would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks again for shipping that thing on such short notice-
I appreciate it.  

I can’t tell you how well the Boat Lift Helper has worked for me.
I live on a mucky lake and for 5 years I struggled to get my lift in and out.  The last 2 years I have had the Helper and it has been a piece of cake!  I can’t thank you enough (my back thanks you as well)!

Set up instructions were clear and useful.
I installed my boat lift helper and placed the lift in the lake late June. The lift worked very well indeed. I'm glad I purchased it. I agree with your warnings to float a boat lift during calm wind and water.

We greatly appreciate you taking care of your customers.
You guys never cease to amaze me. More Companies should follow your lead. We greatly appreciate you taking care of your customers.

Common sense goes a long ways
Yes we had problems last spring, and again my own fault on not filling all the way. In the fall I took it out by myself, and it worked great (common sense goes a long ways). What had happened in the spring, I had help, and the wind was blowing - had one end up, and as soon as the other came up, we took off - bad move, yes we had to fight with it till we got where we were going - lesson learned.

The Boat Lift Helper works GREAT!!!!
Putting the lift in and taking it out (for 3 seasons) can be done by one person without the risk of hypothermia! (Boat Lift Helper advises 2 people) 

Thanks for your concern, and good work on the product as it is a huge benefit.  

Your system worked as you promised.
I was able to easily install the bags, hoses, and valves in less than an hour and float the hoist into position by myself. Even better was taking it out this last weekend. The location I put the hoist is very mucky and let's just say the muck won this year (despite my efforts to give the hoist a firm foundation). The hoist sank into the muck about 4 feet. I inflated the bag and it popped right up and I moved it back to shore. I also have a few people from my lake that I have given your name to.  

It is a well refined product
We installed the air bags tonight and they worked great! It allows one person to safely move the lift into place (BLH recommends help for unexpected changes during installation). Boat Lift Helper User Guide

It is a well refined product. I own several businesses which include the capability to cut and sew. Several years ago I fabricated air tubes which I tried to locate under a lattice work of webbing strung between the four lower frame members. The bags moved out of place, I didn't persist and went back to dragging the darn lift in and out. Your product is a great step forward and should be incorporated with the lift as an accessory just like the electric motor drive.

Boat Lift Helper Is One Great Tool
When used exactly as directed, the Boat Lift Helper is one great tool. It made our boat lift installation much easier this year compared to all other installation methods. No winches, no straps, no ratchets, no hassle. It was a great help. But you must follow the instructions.

HERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!
Well from all the feed back from the hoist and docking went very well!

The bags were the answer. They had laid plywood over the loon sh!t to help and that worked well. Once they reached 6" of water they inflated the bags and floated them into position! The hoist were very stable in the water even with the canopy frames installed.

The six person operation was easily handled by just two people. One person pushing the hoist and the other just guiding it into position. They slowly released the air and they fell into position exactly.

As an overall rating a definite 9.9 out of 10!!
Nothings perfect everyone knows that! LOL 

Fall Lift Removal 
The boat lift helper worked great this fall in the lifting of our boat lift.

After getting in the boat lift, I removed the 'bags' and attached them to the double 2x4's that I used this spring. I slipped the partially filled bags under the end of my dock. I then loosened the end dock supports and lowered the dock. Next I re-tightened the dock supports and started putting more air into the 'bags'. The end of the dock raised up, floating the end of the dock and pulling the end supports and wheels out of the muck. I easily pulled up the end supports and pulled in the dock. This made the pulling in of the dock a lot easier than B4TBLH (before the Boat Lift Helper). Let me know if any one else has discovered any other uses for BLH. 

Bravo!
The Boat Lift Helper worked like a charm -
absolutely no problems at all.  

Bag Positioning
You can let people know why it is important to balance the bags (photo below). Boat Lift Helper User Guide

But even with the placement we had it was still a breeze to put in and pull out... We had a couple of friends give us a hand to push the lift into the water (they were more curious about the bag application and if it would work), but the wife and I could have easily did the task ourselves.

It was just the 2 of us that pulled it out this fall. The neighbors were really impressed with this system. We could probably get quite a few people at our lake interested in this product.

This is a great investment ... gives more time to drink beer with the buddies!!!! Trial and error on our part on positioning the bags, but we have figured it out for next year (balancing lift). We have a muddy bottom and the bags performed marvelously when they inflated. We were somewhat skeptical at first on how they would come out of the muddy bottom (LOON SH!T), but were quite amazed at how well they worked.
