Boat Hoist Information
1. The charge for hoist spots including placement, removal, and storage (if you hoist is on site at the time of our installation), are as attached up to & including 8000 lbs. This fee must submitted along with then enclosed application. These fees are based on estimated costs, however your final charge is subject to any installer complications. Any hoists in excess of 8000 lbs are subject to annual committee approval and space availability.
2. The association will use one hoist installer, other than for hoists exceeding 8000#s. All hoists must be delivered to the Arthur Heights location prior to the installation date, if not there for installation, all costs of installation will be owners responsibility. Please remember that your hoist will be installed only after approval from the Hoist Committee regarding the placement of your hoist and only after all authorized hoists are placed and if there is still space remaining. You’ll still pay the same fee to the Association.
3. If you are purchasing a new hoist cover, we strongly recommend that the cover color be white.
4. All hoists will come out together in the Fall of the year and boats must be removed by October 10. The Dock Committee will make arrangements. If your cover is not removed the installer will charge you for removal. Please have cradle in the up position for removal and catwalks detached from dock.
5. To save on space, we will have catwalks on every other hoist. If you have a catwalk on your hoist, you may have to share it with your neighboring hoist.
6. If you change or upgrade your hoist after installation, you will be responsible for all cost, including any hoist adjustments.
7. We operate with a “GRANDFATHER CLAUSE”, other than hoists exceeding 8000#s, that is, once you have a hoist on the dock, you have priority for a spot every year there after until you give it up, but you must return the RSVP form. You cannot give, sell, or rent you spot to anyone else. If space is not available, you may request to be put on the waiting list. Hoists in excess of 8000#s are subject to annual approval.
8. Because of the limited space on the dock, all lake lot owners are to use their own dock for their hoist.
9. Remember you are responsible for connecting & disconnecting you catwalk to the dock frame. Please do not nail to the wood on the top of the dock. You will also be responsible for any hoist costs to you hoist incurring in the course of installation, including but not limited to leg and set screw work.
10. Please use a heavy gage electrical cord (size 12 or better) and as close to the actual length as possible. Also secure you cord so it does not dangle into the water. Please continue to unplug you electrical extension cord when not in use.
11. YOU MUST COMPLETE AND RETURN THE ATTACHED FORM WITH YOUR CHECK BY APRIL 23, 2018 TO RESERVE YOUR SPACE FOR YOUR HOIST ON THE ASSOCIATION DOCK.
12. IF YOU WANT OUTSIDE BOAT TRAILER STORAGE FOR THE SUMMER, IT’S AVAILABLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL $25.00. PLEASE PUT YOU NAME ON YOUR BOAT TRAILER BEFORE STORING IT. Boat trailers must be removed from storage area by October 10. Trailer storage is due in April.
All hoist questions should be directed to the committee, please do not call the installer.
