  • Publication number: 20180251195
    Abstract: A retractable cantilevered watercraft whip mooring system has a retractable canopy which covers the watercraft while moored to a dock. The system includes a pair of whips secured to the dock by a pair of mounts. Each whip includes a tie-down line. Each whip includes a tie-down line. The retractable cantilevered watercraft whip mooring system protects the watercraft from rubbing or bumping against the dock. In addition, a retractable canopy slides over and is secured by the pair of whips. The retractable canopy includes a support baten. The watercraft is secured by the retractable cantilevered watercraft whip mooring system to protect the watercraft from rubbing or bumping against the dock. The canopy slides over the pair of whips. The canopy is securable relative to an exterior side of the watercraft, enabling the watercraft to be protected during severe weather conditions while the watercraft is attached to the dock.

  • Publication number: 20170284081
    Abstract: A gable assembly is for use with a modular watercraft lift cover. The gable assembly covers the watercraft when the watercraft is secured to a mooring, the gable assembly having a truss-like configuration, the gable assembly being secured to the mooring, the gable assembly being supportable by only one cantilever, when the gable assembly extends beyond the mooring. The gable assembly has a robust, lightweight design that is compatible and adjustable for width, height and length as the boat owner modifies his existing boat or purchases a new boat, and that will protect the watercraft from the elements and will withstand even the severest of storms, undamaged as well as having the ability to be cantilevered. The gable assembly is easy for the user to assemble and adjust on square lake style boat lifts, and the typically non-square tidal lifts.

  • Publication number: 20170226766
    Abstract: The modular boat lift cover for a watercraft comprises a gable assembly and an adjustable support structure. All of the straight components are packaged into the main box frame channels for simplicity in packaging as well as quality control, ensuring no components are missing during packaging and shipping. The box frame channels have sufficient bulk to store the gable components during transport. The modular boat lift cover system has a robust, lightweight design that is compatible and adjustable for width, height and length as the boat owner modifies his existing boat or purchases a new boat, and that will protect the watercraft from the elements and will withstand even the severest of storms, undamaged as well as having the ability to be cantilevered.

The modular boat lift cover has a robust, lightweight design that is compatible and adjustable for width, height and length as the boat owner modifies his existing boat or purchases a new boat of different dimensions that will protect the watercraft from the elements and is designed to withstand even the severest of storms, undamaged. The modular boat lift cover is easy for the user to assemble and adjust on square lake style boat lifts, as well as the typically non-square tidal lifts.
