This year it's $19 per foot so an 18' boat would be $342 plus sales tax

yes it should

We sell them here at Brinson Marine as a ShoreMaster dealer! Give us a call at (315)469-4867!

Thanks for the comment! We were using one of our customers boat and lift for the video, and we did not have his remote so we used his key!

@@brinsonmarine lol. That’s for doing videos like that.

It would be nice if there was a marker showing the stop point for how low the cradle can be lowered

Sometimes the serial number is stamped on the block, but that is often not the case. Unfortunately this is no other way (that I'm aware of) to identify the year.

Hey I punched in that serial number into Mercury's portal and it came up as a 1981 200HP ELPT. Hope that helps

Wow,thank you so much. That was a totally shocker. It has 175 black max badges on the cowling. Thanks for your response.

it's quicker to do that from the water but you can avoid getting wet if you kneel or lay down on the dock and reach underneath to release the clips on the dock panels.

In most cases there is a soft plug, under the cover, on the block that has the serial number stamped in it. If you don't see that then sometimes the ignition parts (harness, coil, ECM, switch box) will have a date code (mm/year)on a tag. That isn't always accurate as the part could have been changed along the way but if it seems like an original part it can help.

Sometimes there is a soft plug with a stamped serial number that can help. Otherwise, you might see a date code on a wiring harness ie: 04/95 . Unfortunately the number you found doesn't help much as I don't see a part number with that number.

Mercury recommends fogging for storage so if you're using it all year, I'd say you don't need to fog it.

When the motor is upright, the water will drain out so running antifreeze is not necessary.

@@julianberman8600 I really appreciate you responding to my question on a 3 yesr old video. Thank you.

We use 18' wide wrap. 17' can also work especially if its an 8' wide pontoon and not 8.5' Thanks for commenting.

We would recommend getting a new remote that did not come with the motor. However, there could be a problem with the receiver on the motor itself. If the motor is within 2 years old, you may have a warranty on the motor!

@@brinsonmarine Thanks so much for the reply! Unfortunately my unit is 2 years, 8 months old. I hear a click inside the unit when I release the up button on the remote, so I think it's an issue with the receiver relay on the motor. :( Not sure how I am going to remove it and ship it to Lift Boss for repair. I'm sure the shipping is going to be a fortune.

@@markdanon1172 You could also try contacting Extreme Max (who makes the Lift Boss) to see if they have any suggestions for you. They do offer repair services but like you said, you'd have to mail the unit in to them.

@@brinsonmarine Thanks so much. You guys are awesome! Love your videos! I've got the installer (in GA) coming out next week to replace the sensor module for the remote inside the motor unit. Hopefully Extreme Max will cover it under warranty. It's a few months past the 2 year warranty.

ShoreMaster still uses these motors on their 5000lb capacity lifts and we have not personally had any problems with this issue. Nor have we heard anything about any recalls!

Our cables are 24.5 feet total for our 3/4/5/6k lifts! What lift do you have? When the cradle is all the way down, there should be enough cable for one spool around the winch. It sounds like your cable may be too long.

If you contact your Mercury Dealer with your Serial Number, they can tell you what year it is. Or you can email it to us at information@brinsonmarine.com and we will be happy to help you out!

​@@brinsonmarinethat email does not exist.

All the newer ShoreMaster lifts do not have a pulley in the middle. They instead feature a roller where the cable slides underneath. In the older lifts, there is a middle pulley which is exposed underneath the cradle beam! You can get to it from there. Please let us know if this helps!

Yes

Tough to say without looking at it. There are a lot of different things that could be going on. I'd recommend contacting your local dealer to have them come take a look.

Yes, sorry for the late response, You can text it to us at 315-469-4867 or email it to information@brinsonmarine.com

If the sticker is missing then it will be tough to find the serial number. On some engines the serial number will be stamped into the freeze plugs but certainly not all of them. If you can't find the serial there then you might be out of luck.

Thank You!
