| Post subject: | Boat Lift |
I plan on using a standard mechanical lift at my dock to lift my Pro Angler 17t out of the water when through fishing. Based on what I have read here, the Hobie cradles attached to the lift would be the safest (for the kayak) way to lift it in and out of the water. I wondered if anyone used the boat lift method of parking your Hobie. I will need to decide if I should route the up/down switch to made it assessable from a seated position in the boat or install a ladder to climb up and out of the kayak and then engage the lift. Any and all brilliant thoughts would be appreciated! |

I would think you could use wireless remote enabled switch. Is it standard 110? There are about a million remotely actuated 110/220 switches online. Here is the very first one I found... http://www.amazon.com/KEDSUM%C2%AE-Wire ... B009AL3SUY |

And I'll have to find one up/down/off. The one pictured looks like a on/off. |

Look at the commercial garage door switches as a search area to start. Others would be chain hoist switches. Something waterproof and with a slinky style rubber cord. These might get you in a direction of what you're for. |

You only need a momentary contact switch, as long as your finger is on the button its operating in that direction. Once you've released the button it shuts off. https://www.zoro.com/hubbell-wiring-dev ... lsrc=aw.ds |

Great advice and clarification on the buttons. As you mentioned, I'll need to find something similar to the link that is also waterproof. Comical tonight at dinner. I had planned on getting the 17t so my kids and grandkids could ride. Both my son and son in law asked that I get the 14 SPECIFICALLY so wives, kids and grandkids couldn't go! |
