Would recommend it to anyone

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

Thanks again.

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).

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.
I love it!

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. 

The Boat Lift Helper worked great last season. It certainly simplified installing and removing our lift.

Bravo!

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

Thanks

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 are 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 shit), but were quite amazed at how well they worked.
