I'm so glad you made this video. I always wanted to know this process. Sure wish I could hear the voice a little better, but I really appreciate you taking the time.
Letsgostblues glad you appreciate the video! Just a heads up, if you don’t have a generator that will run the blower, be sure to get the plugs for the vent holes on the bottom of the tanks. When I said “it sinks fast”, It does, luckily we hadn’t unbolted the front two bolts yet😎. Not gonna say why😬. The process takes some time but is simple. Just keep the back end down in the water! Plug the vent holes or take a generator and you’ll be golden. We moved our lift just under 2miles with the generator method and no plugs. All the best!
Thanks for a great video. I will be moving my lift in two weeks and this help me lot. But I am planing to plug the vent holes on the bottom just to be safe, this should eliminate use of the generator. Hopefully will work !! LOL
@@humanofearth7524 Goes pretty good, I used the 4" expendable plugs you can buy in Home Depot , plumbers used them to pressure test the pipes. Each tank have a two 4 " holes. Lift is already installed in new location and work a great.
Put some water in the tubes so the unit doesn't want to flip over (neutral bouyancy) then seal the holes ( stadium cups notched for and held with straps for the water side) so the air/water mix can't change. You will have to drain the water if you are trailing at the end. A shop vac is a good portable level changer.
I do this for a living and ill tell you there are much much easier ways to do everything here but you have a lot of the right ideas at least you didnt sink it haha
Don’t you just love the Sofa Quarterback’s always criticizing, yet having nothing to offer other than diarrhea mouth. Hey pal if you can’t help others just shut the fuk up!
With a Tri-toon boat lift, do you think a lift could be moved from 1 slip to another by strappiing lift tanks to the tri-toon tubes and sinking just enough to enable boat motor operation?
Possibly, I would definitely use the plugs on the vent holes. I Would hate to see you sink the boat. If you’re not leaving the marina, you and a friend could probably just paddle down to the new slip.
Looking at moving a hydrohoist 6600 in the next couple of weeks. Where exactly are the vent holes and what size trailer did you use? I have a 6' x 12' and plan to just slide the tubes in to fit once we get to the takeout point. I have access to a pontoon trailer but think it would be hard to keep secure on the bunks.
The vent holes are on the bottom of the tubes, near the back of the lift. It is very heavy. I used an 18 foot car hauler. A pontoon trailer would probably be better than a 6x12. I don’t think a 6 x 12 is wide enough or could handle the weight.
What size slip did you remove this from in your video? 10ft wide?? I have a UL2 6600 and I need to swap the pitman arms around so they are out of the water when the lift is raised. We have a 10ft wide slip and a Cobalt 262 boat.
