Thanks!
The elevator lift was a compromise. When it was installed, both the contractor and I wanted to do a 4-post, but there's a lot of coquina off my seawall, and the contractor at the time did not have a barge / drill rig that could get under the bridge at the end of my canal. The elevator lift solved the problem.
Once a year or so I have to get in the canal and "dredge" some bottom sand out of the way where the cradle arms go down. Otherwise in times of low water levels, the lift bottoms out and the cables slacken before the boat is floating. Some of that may be the sheer size/capacity of the lift, it was sized at 16K lbs for my Cig Cafe Racer originally.
I also would rather I didn't have aluminum in this warm salty water 24/7. I keep a close watch on my anodes but I still am uneasy about all that metal and salt playing together.
Other than that, it works fine, remote control is nice, it's very stable.
