The Simple Fix: Boat Lift Motor Cover
When it comes to prepping your boat lift for the winter, one of the easiest ways to ensure that the internals of your boat lift motor are protected is to purchase a cover for your internals. A cover for your lift motor will allow the internals of your lift to survive the elements as the snow or cold rain will not be able to penetrate the inner workings of the boat lift.
Remove the Motor

Many of the key players in the boat lift industry will recommend that you always remove your motor from your lift, as if you do live in an area that experiences winter, then you will not be utilizing the boat at all in the coming months.
