Love your boat? Then you want to give it a good home. This is why many boat owners choose Shoremaster Boat Lift Canopies to protect their boats. Known for the quality and longevity of their products, Shoremaster Boat Lift canopies are made to last for years and years, giving your boat the protection it deserves.
Because of the quality workmanship of a Shoremaster canopy frame, you will most likely need to replace your Shoremaster canopies fabric long before the frame itself begins to deteriorate.
In the Door County peninsula, one of the most popular boat lifts is a ShoreMaster lift.
Measuring for ShoreMaster replacement Canopies
Here is the correct way to measure for a replacement canopy for these lifts:
Refer to the diagram below for more information on measurements.
Length: Measure from the frame’s outside edge to outside edge, along with the center line (not up and over the top)
Width: Measure between the inside edges of the frame.
How to measure a Shorestation canopy:
Shorestation lifts are made with Steel or Aluminum canopy frames. It’s important to distinguish between the two before proceeding:
Shorestation ALUMINUM Canopy Frames
Note: References to Steel or Aluminum refers to the canopy frame materials only.
Measuring and Sizes
Length: Measure the side rail and then add 2 feet to that number
Width: Measure between the inside edges of the frame
Shorestation STEEL Canopy Frames
Note: References to Steel or Aluminum refers to the canopy frame materials only.
Measuring and Sizes
Length: Count the number of inner ribs
Width: Measure between the inside edges of the frame
PLEASE NOTE: If you feel there have been ANY modifications to the canopy frame in the past it is very important to bring that information to our attention. These changes may have a direct result on the final product.
Another option is to have a PWS representative visit your site and get the proper information for you.
Not either brand?
Look for the brand name on the frame or winch of the boat lift and call or send the information to us. Sending a photo helps also. Based on the information you send, we will return a diagram of the frames to you to compare with your actual canopy frame. We will also show you how to take the precise canopy dimensions we need. It’s as simple as that!
If in doubt just ask us to send someone out to get the information we need.
