If your boat doesn’t already have a swim platform or marlin board, one can typically be installed directly to the stern by a competent shipwright or boat builder.

Requirements for Installing Prestomarine Lifts:

  • Fixed (F) system:
    • The swim platform needs to be at least 600mm deep (see Image 1).
  • Rail (R) system:
    • Requires a platform depth of at least 900mm.
    • The optimum length of a Rail system is determined by the platform depth and is available in 900mm, 1100mm, 1300mm, and 1500mm lengths.

Additionally, the top of the platform must be less than 550mm above the waterline (see Image 2).
