Default The lift is in - finally

A quick note of thanks everyone at Moores who helped me get Donnie's old lift loaded on the flatbed last month. Finally made the time to set the bunks up correctly for the step in the hull this Sunday after the run. Works great.

Thanks - this one had a valve between the center tank and the rear tank, but I may add one between the forward tanks and the center as well. I am also thinking of putting Tees with a valve right before the blowers so that I can lower the lift without having to worry about moisture and water getting into the blowers. Tanks will also lower faster. Had this set up built into my old Hydro hoist and it worked much better.

Hope to catch up with all of you again sometime in the hopefully no to distant future.

Here are the pics. My bunk support brackets were all the same length, but I got lucky because my step is right at 1.5". I stacked two 2x6 boards on the back bunk to make the step bunks and used a single board for the forward bunk.

Hope this helps.

Regards
