Assembly Instructions:
Remove all the items from the hardware box and sort by size. Re-
move the hardware bags and sort all hardware items by size.
Base Pad Assembly
See Detail A of Diagram A. Locate the four (4) base pads, Item No.
2 and the four (4) aluminum base pad channel clamps, Item No. 3.
Attach the two together as shown using 3/8” x 1” carriage bolts and
3/8” flange lock nuts.
Locate the four black plastic handle grips and the four Item No. 13
leg lift rods. Slide the black plastic handle grip onto the end of the
rod without the hole drilled in it.
Locate the four upright hoist leg assemblies shown in Diagram A.
Align the hole in the aluminum base pad channel clamp with the
hole in the extension leg factory installed into the upright post. Se-
cure the two together using the remaining end of the leg lift rod. Se-
cure together using the hitch pin clip provided. Repeat this process
on the remaining upright legs assemblies.
Lower Frame Assembly
Once the base pads are attached to the upright post they will now
stand in an upright position. Note that there are two posts that have
the lower corner block installed creating a right hand assembly
while the remaining two are installed creating a left hand assem-
bly. Position them in their respective corners as shown in Diagram
A and spaced apart the approximate distance of the lower frame
tubing. The like assemblies, Post No. 1 & 3, will be located in the
corners diagonally across from each other and likewise with Post
No. 2 & 4.
Starting with Post No.1.
Locate one of the lower frame tubes (107”for a SSV10408 series
or 119”for the SSV40120 series ) and slide one end of the lower
frame tube over the leg of the lower corner block leg as shown. See
Detail C. Slide the tube completely on until it butts against the lower
corner block. Locate a 3/8” flat washer and place it on a 3/8” x 5 ½”
hex bolt. (Item No. 10 in Detail B) Insert the bolt into the matching
hole closest to the upright post. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut.
Do not tighten until directed at a later time.
Next place one of the 131” side frame tubes on the other lower
corner block. Attach it in a similar manner just described.
Post No. 2.
Slide the leg of the lower corner block into the remaining end of the
107” or 119” lower frame tube just attached to Post No. 1. Secure
together using the same process and hardware just described for
Post No. 1.
Connect the second 131” lower frame tube to the other remain-
ing leg of the lower corner block of Post No. 2. Secure in a similar
manner.
Repeat this process on Post No. 3 and 4.
Attaching the Bottom Corner Cable Brackets
Locate the two bottom corner cable brackets, Item No. 5 in Detail B
Diagram A. Place a 3/8” flat washer onto a 3/8” x 6” hex bolt (Item
No. 11) and drop it into the other hole of the lower frame tube that
aligns with the hole in the lower corner blocks of Post No. 1 and 4.
Repeat on the other leg of the lower corner blocks inserted in the
131” lower side tube on Post No. 1 and 4.
Position the bottom corner cable bracket on the bottom side of the
lower frames as shown, align the holes in the bracket with the bolts
just installed, then insert through the bracket. Secure in place with
3/8” flange lock nuts. Note that Post No. 1 and 4 are the only posts
to have the bottom corner cable brackets installed on them.
Place a 3/8” flat washer on the remaining four 3/8” x 5 ½” hex bolts
and insert them into the remaining hole of the lower frame tube and
the lower corner blocks of Post No. 2 and 3.
Check the frame for being square, then tighten the bolts just in-
stalled in the lower frame.
The side of the hoist that has the bottom corner cable brackets
installed on will now be the side of the hoist where the winch tube
and pump will be mounted. See the drawing on the front cover of
this manual.

Locate the two platform assemblies. (Item No. 6 in Diagram B)
Note that the cables, pulleys, etc are pre-assembled at the factory
so they are identical assemblies. Position the platforms across the
hoist and set them on the lower frame of the hoist so that the end of
the platform that has the cable routed over the top of the pulley is
on the same side of the hoist as the bottom corner cable brackets
just installed. (See Detail B of Diagram A) Thread the cable down
through the hole in the bottom side of the platform weldment that
aligns with the groove of the pulley where the cable rides. Insert the
end of the cable down through the hole in the bottom corner cable
bracket installed earlier using the hole that is closest to the131”
long side frame of the hoist. Secure the cable into the bottom cor-
ner cable bracket with the 5/8” hex nuts provided. Thread the first
nut completely on the threads, then thread on a second nut. Thread
it on until it is against the first nut. Using two wrenches, tighten the
first and second nut into each other to lock them from turning loose
when the hoist is used.
Repeat this process on the other platform assembly.
Locate the two platform rail extrusions (Item No. 5 in Diagram B).
They are punched the same on both ends eliminating a right and
left part. Place one of the platform rail extrusions between the two
platform assemblies just installed as shown in Diagram B aligning
the holes in the end of the platform rail extrusions with the holes in
the platform assemblies. (See Detail E and Detail F in Diagram B)
Place a 5/16” flat washer on a 5/16” x ¾” hex bolt and insert into
one of the holes just aligned. Place a second flat washer on the bolt
and secure with a 5/16” lock nut. Repeat this process until all four
bolts are installed in the end of the platform rail extrusion attaching
it to the platform assembly.
Repeat the above process on the other end of the platform rail
extrusion attaching it to the second platform assembly. Then repeat
on the other platform rail extrusion attaching both platforms togeth-
er at each end as shown in Diagram B. TIGHTEN THE BOLTS AT
THIS TIME.
Center the platform just assembled together so it is evenly spaced
between the upright posts. Locate the four plastic corner guides
(Item No. 35 in Detail F of Diagram B). Note that all four are identi-
cal parts. By rotating the part 180 degrees will make it a right or left
hand part. They must be positioned the same direction on Posts 1
and 3. They must be rotated the 180 degrees for Posts 2 and 4.
Properly position a plastic corner guide as shown and place it over
Post No. 3. Align the holes in the plastic corner guide with the holes
in the top of the platform end as shown in Detail F on Diagram B.
Place a 3/8” flat washer on a 3/8” x 1 ½” hex bolt, then insert the
bolt into the aligned holes in the plastic corner guide and the plat-
form. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut but DO NOT TIGHTEN.
Repeat this process on the other bolts to attach the plastic corner
guide.
Repeat this process on Post NO. 1.

Rotate the next plastic corner guide 180 degrees so the topside of
the plastic corner guide as described on Post No. 3 is now the bot-
tom. Refer to the drawing of the assembled hoist on page one of
this manual. Place it over Post No. 4. Repeat the attaching process
just described for Post No. 3.
Repeat the process used on Post No. 4 on Post No. 2.
Once all of the plastic corner guides are installed, check the plat-
form assembly again to make sure it is still centered between the
posts. Once the platform is centered, position the plastic corners
guides so they are centered on the posts front to rear of the hoist.
The plastic corner guides should be positioned so they are as
close as possible to the inner side of the posts leaving only a small
amount of clearance to prevent them from rubbing on the inside of
the posts as the platform is raised.
When they are all positioned as described above, tighten securely
into position with the bolts just installed.
Drop Side Weldment Installation
See Diagram C. Locate the drop side weldment that is to be at-
tached between Post No. 2 and 3. Locate four 1” wide top clamps,
four clamp shims, four 3/8” x 3 ½” hex bolts, four 3/8” flat washers,
and four 3/8” flange lock nuts. Slide a top clamp down over each
of Posts No. 2 and 3. Place a flat washer on a 3/8” x 3 ½” hex bolt,
then insert it into the holes in each leg of the top clamp. Place on a
3/8” flange lock nut. Slide the top clamp down the post and position
so that the top edge of the top clamp is located at the point of the
arrow decal on the post. Tighten the bolt securing the clamp in this
position. Repeat this process on the other post.
Place the drop side weldment between Posts No. 2 and 3 and set it
on top of the top clamps just installed. Place another top clamp over
the post and slide down to the drop side weldment Slide a shim on
each side of the drop side weldment between it and the top clamp.
See Detail J of Diagram C. Align the top hole in the 1” top clamp,
shims and drop side weldment. Then place a flat washer on a 3/8”
x 3 ½” hex bolt and insert it through the aligned holes so the bolt is
pointing away from the center of the hoist. Secure with a 3/8” flange
lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the top clamp on the other post.
When the top clamps are installed and tightened enough to hold
the drop side weldment from sliding, loosen the bolt in the bot-
tom clamp and remove. Slide the bottom clamp up and around the
shim and drop side weldment. Align the holes and re-insert the bolt
just removed. Place on the flange lock nut and tighten. Both bolts
should be re-tightened to make sure they won’t slide down the post
when a load is applied to the platform during use. Repeat this pro-
cess on the other post.
Locate the remaining end of the platform level cable shown in Dia-
gram B. Insert the end of the cable up through the hole provided in
the drop side weldment as shown in Detail J. Place on a 5/8” flat
washer, then thread on a 5/8” hex nut. This nut will be used to level
the platform across the hoist once it is fully assembled. Insert the
plastic end caps provided. Assembly of the drop side is complete.
SS1202 Adjustable Step
Mount the step brackets to the step bunk using four
(4) 3/8” X 2-1/2” carriage bolt down through the
step bunk and step brackets. Secure with 3/8” lock
washers and 3/8” hex nuts.
Determine the location on the drop side weldment
that you that you would mount this assembly and
mark. Attach the step assembly to the drop side

drop down and around the winch tube assembly. Align the holes in
the 2”top clamp with the holes in the winch tube assembly. Place
a ½” flat washer on a ½” x 5 ½” hex bolt, then insert it through the
top clamp and the winch tube assembly so that the bolt is pointing
outward. Secure with a ½” flange lock nut.
Repeat this process on the other post and the other end of the
winch tube assembly. Tighten both clamp just installed. Once tight-
ened, loosen and remove the bolt placed in the bottom 2” clamp.
Slide the 2” clamp up around the bottom of the winch tube assem-
bly, align the holes in the top clamp and winch tube assembly, then
insert the bolt just removed. Secure with the ½” flange lock nut.
Tighten securely.
Mounting the Hydraulic Pump
See Detail N of Diagram E.
Locate the motor mount bracket in Detail N. Position the bracket so
that the mounting surfaces of the bracket are as shown. Next locate
the pre-drilled hole on the inside of the winch tube assembly that is
approximately 16 ½” from the end of the winch tube and identified
in Diagram E. Slide the motor mount bracket down over the winch
tube assembly, align the hole in the bracket with the pre-drilled hole
in the winch tube. Attach the motor mount bracket to the winch tube
assembly using a ¼” x ½” full threaded bolt. Tighten.
Place the motor assembly on the motor mount bracket as shown in

Control Arm Assembly
Locate the pendant control assembly. Insert the connector end of
the wire into the end of the control arm without holes drilled through
it. Push the wire into the control arm tube until the plug comes out
of the other end of the control arm tube. Pull the bulk of the wire
through the control arm tube for now.
Attach the control arm tube to the control arm pivot weldment by
aligning the holes in both parts. Insert a ¼” x 6” hex bolt into the
hole in the end of the control arm, then through the hole in the con-
trol arm pivot weldment. Place on the compression spring followed
by a 3/8” flat washer, ¼” flat washer and a ¼” hex nut. Tighten until
the spring is slightly compressed. This can be changed to achieve
the desired tension once it is being used. Place a ¼” x 2 ¼” hex
bolt into the second hole in the control arm tube and the control arm
pivot weldment. Secure using a ¼” hex nut. Tighten.
Insert the 72” extension leg into Post No. 4 that is next to the hy-
draulic pump. Secure it in Post No. 4 using a ½” x 4” hex bolt and
flange lock nut. Place another ½” x 4” hex bolt through the hole
provided in the 72” extension leg approximately 14” from the end of
the extension leg. Slide the control arm tube assembly assembled
earlier over the top of the extension leg. Lower until it is resting on

The following are instructions for connecting the 120 volt
pump only. The 12 volt system is addressed on pages15.
Route the control pendant wire down the extension leg and over
to the pump. Connect it to the connector plug located on the pump
and identified on the drawing on page 13. Align the plugs so they
will mate. Once mated turn the outside sleeve of the connector
clockwise to lock the connection together.
Connect the wire from the micro switch located inside the winch
tube assembly to the pump by aligning the plug on the end of the
micro switch wire with the connector on the pump so they will mate.
The correct connector is identified below on the drawing. Once
mated turn the outside sleeve of the connector clockwise to lock
the connection together.
Connect the hydraulic hoses from the winch tube assembly to the
pump by mating the hydraulic connector male to female and female
to male.
Connect the electrical cord on the pump to a 120 volt power supply
line that is sufficient to supply power to the pump so when it is run-
ning that there is a minimum of 109 volts.
NOTE: THE POWER SUPPLY MUST A HAVE GFI PROTECTION
AT THE SOURCE. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICIAN TO
MAKE SURE YOU COMPLY WITH STATE AND LOCAL WIRING
CODES.

12 VOLT DC ELECTRICAL HYDRAULIC PUMP
The 12 volt DC electrical hydraulic pump comes supplied with 4
gauge power cables with a quick connector plug so that you can
connect your boat hoist to the battery in your boat. This the most
economical approach and allows you the ability to charge your bat-
tery while you are boating. Connect the power cables as follows:
Connecting the Power Cables to the Hydraulic Pump
Attach the end fitting on the black cable to the mounting bolt hold-
ing the pump to the mounting bracket. Tighten securely.
Attach the end fitting on the red cable to the large solenoid terminal
for the motor. It is the post on the solenoid opposite the one that
has a heavy cable attaching the solenoid to the motor windings.
Installation in the Boat
The power cables come equipped with end fittings that will fit the
terminals on your boat battery. Simply remove the wing nuts on
the battery posts, place on the end fitting of the power cable and
replace the nut. Note that the Red cable is to be connected to the
positive post of the battery and the black cable is to be connected
to the negative post of the battery. This is standard code for battery
connections.
Once the connections are made the two cables can be connected
together with the quick connection and you are ready to power your
hydraulic pump.

MOUNTING A SEPARATE BATTERY ON YOUR HOIST
A separate battery supply can be easily added to your hoist should
you choose not to operate your hoist with the battery in your boat. It
is attached to the winch tube assembly by using a SS1203 Battery
Mounting Hardware.
SS1203 Battery Mounting Hardware
Place one of the motor mount brackets down over the winch tube
assembly as shown. Align the holes in the bracket with the pre-
drilled holes in the winch tube. Secure the two together with ¼”
x ½” hex bolts. Repeat this process on the second motor mount
bracket.
Lay the battery holder bracket on top of the two motor mount brack-
ets just installed. Align the holes, then place a 3/8” x ¾” hex bolt
down through the brackets. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut. Re-
peat on the other bracket. Once all items are assembled, tighten all
bolts left loose at this time.
The plastic battery box is not included with the kit. However, the
battery cables are supplied with the kit. The red cable is for the
positive post connections while the black is for the ground. See
page 14 for the instructions on how to connect your battery to the
motor.

Connecting the Lift Cables To The Platform
Now that the hoist is operable use the control pendant to lower the
lift cables. Using the operating instructions on page 16 lower the
hoist. When operated in the down position the cylinder will extend
causing the lift cables to be lowered out of the winch tube assem-
bly. Lower until the cylinder is fully extended and the cables can not
be extended any further.
Note: Placing a block under the platform before the cable ends are
inserted into the platform will give you more length in the cable to
make the connection.
Insert the end of one of the lift cables through the hole in the plastic
corner guide and then down into the hole in the steel gusset welded
into the platform. Place on a 5/8” flat washer, then thread on a 5/8”
hex nut until it is at the top of the threads. Thread on a second
5/8” hex nut until it is against the first nut just installed. Using two
wrenches, tighten the two nuts into themselves to lock them so they
won’t work loose during the use of the hoist. Repeat this process
on the other lift cable.
Re-placement of the Level Cables
Platform Assembly Cable Routing
The level cables installed in this hoist are made of stainless steel.
The platform is assembled as shown in the diagram. The cable is
trained through the assembly as follows:
Starting on the side that is attached to the drop side weldment, the
cable comes down, then under the pulley as shown. The cable is
in the pulley groove and is contained in the groove by the cable re-
tainer Ref. No. 7. This is important so that the cable does not come
out of the pulley groove when the platform is raised on the drop
side weldment side of the hoist by an alternate means other than
the normal lifting of the hoist winch system. Raising the platform
on the winch tube side of the hoist will cause the platform to raise
evenly and will keep tension on the level cables at all times.
The cable is then routed under the Ref. No. 33 bushing located in-
side the platform tube. It must be routed under the bushing to keep
the cable from rubbing on the top inside of the platform tube.
The cable is then positioned into the pulley groove on the topside
of the pulley on the winch tube end of the platform tube containing
it in place with a second cable retainer. Note that this retainer is
mounted on the topside of the pulley while the one on the other end
is on the bottom side of the pulley.
The cable is then attached to the bottom corner cable bracket as
indicated.
NOTICE: The pulleys must turn at all times when the platform is
being raised or lowered. Should you have any questions regarding
the cables or pulleys, contact your local ShoreStation dealer.

Installing the Bunk System
The platform can now be raised that the cables are attached to the
platform. Raise the platform approximately waist high by pressing
the UP button. When the platform reaches this height let the button
return to its normal position and the platform will stop.
Refer to the drawing on page one to familiarize yourself for the
bunk installation. Then using Detail I on page 7 locate the following
parts: four adjustable bunk brackets, two (2) carpeted bunk assem-
blies, four (4) 3/8” x 1” hex bolt, four (4) 3/8” flange lock nuts, four
(4) ½” x 5 9/16” x 3” U-bolt, eight (8) ½” lock washers, and eight (8)
½” hex nuts.
Place one of the ½” x 5 9/16”x 3” U-bolts around the platform tube
as shown from the end of the hoist so the legs of the U-bolt are
pointing inward. Position one of the adjustable bunk brackets so
that the small hole on one end of the bracket is up. Align the third
hole in the adjustable bunk bracket with the top leg of the U-bolt,
then with the holes matched to the legs of the U-bolt slip it over the
legs. Secure with ½” lock washers and ½” hex nuts. The third hole
is a good starting point. The bunks may need to be adjusted in a
higher position than this adjustment if your boat has a deep-V hull.
Repeat this process on the adjustable bunk bracket assembly on
the other platform on the other end of the hoist. Make sure that the
adjustable bunk bracket is mounted on the inside of the platform
tube.
Place the bunk assembly on top of the two adjustable bunk brack-
ets just installed. Align the hole in the bunk bracket already at-
tached to the bunk assembly with the small hole in the top of the
adjustable bunk bracket. Insert a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt through the
holes and secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut. Repeat on the other
end of the bunk assembly. Tighten the nuts on the bolts until snug
but do not over tighten. The bunks must be allowed to rotate slightly
so they can conform to the bottom of the boat when it is placed on
the hoist.
Repeat the above process on the remaining bunk assembly on the
other side of the hoist.

Assembly:
Break the bundle and sort all parts and hardware by size.
Locate the two hoist motor stop arm weldments and the hoist mo-
tor stop wood bumper.
Position them together making sure the hoist motor arm weldments
are positioned with the tubing bent as shown in the diagram. Using
four (4) 5/16” x 2-1/4” carriage bolts, attach the hoist motor stop
wood bumper to the hoist motor stop arm weldments. Secure with
5/16” lock washers and 5/16” hex nuts. Tighten.
Installation:
Locate the two hoist motor stop u-bolt brackets with offset and posi-
tion them as shown in the diagram on the hoist platform so they are
spaced correctly to fit the hoist motor stop assembly.
Place the motor stop assembly on the two hoist motor stop u-bolts
brackets with offset just positioned on the platform. Drop the 3/8”
x 2-7/16” x 7-1/2” over the motor stop arm weldments and down
through the holes in the hoist motor stop u-bolt brackets with off-
set.
Push the u-bolts all the way down until the tops of the u-bolts are
resting on the motor stop tubes. Place a straight hoist motor stop
u-bolt bracket on the u-bolts as shown. Secure in place with the
3/8” lock washers and 3/8” hex nuts provided. Repeat on the other
arm.
Position the hoist motor stop assembly on the hoist so it is centered
side to side. Changing the motor stop location front to rear is ac-
complished by sliding the straight portion of the hoist motor stop
arm weldments through the u-bolts. This allows you to change the
motor stop location to best position your boat on the hoist. Once the
assembly is in the proper position, tighten the nuts on the u-bolts.
Assembly is complete.
