SunLift FAQ
Is my boat really out of the water?
Yes.
SunLift keeps the hull of your boat above the water level.
Is SunLift suitable for tidal areas?
No.
SunLift can’t be installed in a tidal area.
Can I flush my motors in the SunLift?
Yes.
You can flush your motors when the SunLift is in raised position. But keep in mind that the SunLift is not designed to walk on it.
Why shouldn't I antifoul my boat?
Since antifouling paints contain toxic chemicals. The process isn’t environmentally friendly and it’s actually not the best solution against marine and barnacle growth. Not to mention, the paint needs to be removed and reapplied at least once a year and will reduce boat performance.
Dry docking solutions offered by DOCKPRO reduce maintenance costs, retain original boat performance and also increase resale value.
Can I walk on the SunLift?
No.
The SunLift is not designed to walk on.
How long has Sunstream been around?
Sunstream invented the first hydraulic boat lift in 1996 and then became the global industry leader.
What maintenance is required?
To maintain the constructor warranty it is mandatory to service your SunLift every 12 months.
Can my SunLift be insured?
Yes.
Most major insurance companies list the SunLift as an accessory of the boat.
