Need help quick. I think I'm going for this 2800lb mini-lift. He can install it this week.
I'm looking at the Magnum Mini Mag 2800lb boat lift. For an 1100lb Boston Whaler clone. It needs only 2 pilings, so 2 galvanized tracks run down the pilings (parts of the tracks are always under water).
To be installed in brackish water.
The manual states that it should ALWAYS be unplugged when not in use, so the ground connection won't lead to electrolysis, metal-rot.
I assume attaching zinc anodes to the lift tracks would help lots.
The lift is $4K installed. About $3K cheaper than a normal 4 piling lift, which would include 2 new pilings.
Any thoughts?
