Abstract: A lift system for watercraft comprising a fixed frame, at least one support member, a first movable frame, a second movable frame, and at least one actuator member. The at least one actuator assembly comprises a cylinder and a rod arranged in retracted and extended positions relative to the cylinder. The first and second lower axes are parallel and define a reference plane. When the rod is arranged in the extended position relative to the cylinder, the at least one support member is in a lowered position relative to the fixed frame. When the rod is arranged in the retracted position relative to the cylinder, the at least one support member is in a raised position relative to the fixed frame. In the lowered position, the first attachment point is below the reference plane. In the raised position, the first attachment point is above the reference plane.
