How Do I Keep My Boat Clean While It’s on a Lift?
Whether you’re boating on a canal in Florida, a lake in Missouri, or a reservoir in Texas, the struggle is the same: keeping your boat clean while it’s on a lift is harder than it should be.
Between dust, pollen, rain, UV rays, and the occasional flock of birds, even a few days uncovered can mean hours of washing before your next trip. That’s where Marine Concepts changes everything.
The Challenge of Lift Storage
Leaving your boat exposed on a lift might feel convenient—but it’s also an open invitation for:
- Sun and UV damage that fades gelcoat and upholstery
- Pollen and dust that cling to every surface
- Rainwater and debris that collect in seats and bilges
- Birds and insects that treat your boat like home
Even lift canopies only provide partial coverage, leaving your hull and sides exposed to the elements.
Why Standard Covers Don’t Work
If you’ve ever fought with a snap-on cover, you know the struggle. They’re heavy, awkward, and take two people to install. Tarps and universal covers fit poorly, trap moisture, and cause mildew. Motorized covers can break down and cost thousands to repair.
All of them share one problem: they’re not built for the real-world convenience boaters need.
The Smarter Solution: The Marine Concepts Track-System Cover
Our patented track system lets one person fully cover or uncover their boat in under a minute.
It glides smoothly along rails mounted to your dock or canopy, completely enclosing your vessel from bow to stern—no motors, no straps, no wrestling.
Benefits:
- Keeps your boat clean and dry, even on open lifts
- Prevents UV, salt, and debris damage
- Installs on covered or uncovered docks
- Works for all boat types: center consoles, pontoons, cruisers, and wake boats
