Summer boating season is right around the corner! Make sure that safety is always on the forefront of your mind so you can have a fun time boating with your friends!

  Our Main Goal With the push of a button instead of using direct electricity, the Firstmate Boat Lift Remote Control takes all the work out of raising and lowering your boat without any messy wires. 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.
