When calculating the total or ‘working’ weight of your tender or jet ski, in addition to the weight of the tender/jet ski itself, it’s important to include additional items, such as:
- Outboard motor
- Battery
- Lift jackets
- Anchor
- Fuel tank(s) when full
- Other gear that you typically carry in the tender and will remain in it when lifted onto the swim platform.
This ensures an accurate weight estimate for selecting the appropriate lift and ensuring it can safely support the total load.
