Why Keeping It Clean Matters
A clean, lubricated lift resists corrosion and operates smoothly—especially important in saltwater environments and cold climates.
Cleaning Guide
- Rinse frame and cables after each use.
- Monthly clean: mild soap + warm water, using soft brush.
- Use seawater-safe vinyl cleaners to remove barnacles or algae.
- Avoid abrasive pads and solvents that damage finishes.
- Use marine rust remover for mild rust—no wire brushes!
Lubrication Guide
- Apply Trion Marine Grease to pulleys, cables, and gear shafts.
- Use waterproof silicone spray to protect electrical parts.
- Avoid petroleum-based oils that may harm hull finishes.
