General Need-To-Know Firstmate Controls Product Information

Boat lifts can pay for themselves over time by increasing the resale value of your boat as well as by reducing annual maintenance costs, such as eliminating the need for dock repair, lift repair or boat repair. 

With the push of a button, the Firstmate™ Boat Lift Remote Control takes all the work out of raising and lowering your boat.

The Firstmate™ system can automatically set your boat to one of three levels: Up, Board, or Down. When your boat reaches the desired level, the system shuts off automatically. With the Board position, there’s no more climbing up into the boat or hanging on to the dock, making it easier to get your guests and their items in and out safely.

Which system will fit your airlift?


Know your lift size:

Lifts are often categorized by weight capacity, but several other factors need to be considered including the length of your boat, the type of propulsion (outboard, I/O or inboard), and the depth of the water in the slip.

GENERAL GUIDELINE:

Single-valve system ........................ PWC up to 8,000 lb. lift

Dual-valve system .......................... up to 16,000 lb. lift

Three-valve system......................... up to 24,000 lb. lift

Four-valve system ........................... 24,000+ lb. lift

Note these are suggested guidelines only. 

Consult your lift specialist to determine the correct lift size for your boat.
