The BLJ-60; Boat Lift / Hoist jack has 3 valuable uses.1) Use to lift hoist by its lower framework and adjust corner post to level boat lift in water. 2) Use to raise the hoist frame to install or remove boat lift installation wheels. 3) Also, the jack tool can be used to raise or lower your dock to changing water levels. The BLJ-60; "Boat Lift Jack" is a 2" sq. Aluminum tube "T" frame, assembled with 1/4" thick aluminum mount plates. Controlling the Boat Hoist Jack is easy when holding on to the 1-3/4" diameter steel round tubing handle ( w/ poly handle grip ) in left hand while operating the 800 lb. capacity brake winch with your right hand. The 3/8" diameter x 10' long nylon braded rope goes up and around the 2-3/4" Acetal Polly Pulley and down to the "J" Hook, made of 3/6" th. x 3-1/2" wide heavy duty bar steel & will hook on boat lift frames up to 3" wide. The 3/8" diameter x 36" long "J" Hook handle rod allows you to reach deep under the water to secure the "J" Hook under the boat lift/hoist framework. Main construction of Boat Lift Jack is of Aluminum tubing & plates, while steel "J" Hook, handle, winch & mounting fasteners having a zinc plated finish. Boat Lift Jack works best in water up to 4' deep, but will work fine if winch becomes submerged in deeper water. Recommended as is for solid lake/river bottoms. For softer bottoms, a 2" x 6" can be attached to the underside of the base tube using the 3/8" holes provided. Or purchase the OPTIONAL, BLJ-61; "Mud Plate", a 1/4" thick x 6" wide x 29" long aluminum plate w/ mounting holes in it. NOTE: Shown with OPTIONAL, BLJ-61; Mud Plate.

Made Well and Works Fine But Seems Overpriced
This is a well made product, although I not so sure that wire cable wouldn't be better in fresh water use than the supplied nylon rope, which can exhibit a far amount of stretch. Using to set a 4000lb capacity and smaller boat lifts & docks - makes it easy to adjust lift feet and install/remove wheels and level-up docks working alone. Design of this jack is fairly simple and manufacturing should be quick and easy so the price seems high to me, but that may be because its probably not a high-volume mass-produced item. I would advise getting the mud-foot for heavy loads (e.g. large boat lifts) unless you have a very firm lake bottom to work from.

Excellent jack, excellent quality, easy to use.
This boat lift jack is exactly what I need. One person job now to change the leg depth on my lifts in no time. Previously I used a ratchet jack and it was very difficult to keep it from sliding off to the side and ultimately required two or more people. I have no idea why I waited so long to buy this.

Very good.
Great product but expensive.Our lift is a 5,000 capacity lift with canopy. Raises it with no problems whatsoever.I did think the line they provided seemed on the cheaper side.
