Frequently Asked Questions

What are Sea-Legs?
Sea-Legs are the world’s only portable hydraulic pontoon lift. The product consists of two heavy-duty hydraulically operated lift modules that lift a pontoon boat to a height of up to six feet from the bottom of a lake or river bed.

How much do Sea-Legs cost?
Please contact us for a price quote.

What type of boats can have Sea-Legs?
Sea-Legs will fit on most 18 to 28 foot pontoon boats. Sea-Legs will not work on solid-hull boats nor will they work on tri-tube pontoon boats. (We expect to have a tri-tube version of Sea-Legs available in 2006). Sea-Legs can be installed a new pontoon or added to a used boat. In all cases, though, installation must take place out of water.

Can I install Sea-Legs myself?
Generally, no. In order for your Sea-Legs warranty to be in effect, Sea-Legs must be installed by Anchor Dock & Lift.

What is the lift height?
Sea-Legs will lift a boat 6 feet, measured from the bottom of the pontoon deck to the bottom of a body of water. In order to consistently have your tubes out of the water, Sea-Legs work best in water of around 4 feet or less.

Where can I use Sea-Legs?
Sea-Legs can be used anywhere with water depth of six feet or less. Sea-Legs are most commonly used to replace a conventional lift at a standard dock, but can also be used to park at sandbars or on-water restaurants, for visiting neighbors, shore fishing, getting gas and more.

How long have Sea-Legs been around?
Sea-Legs were first installed commercially in 1994 and are protected by a U.S. patent issued in 1996. There are currently more than 1000 sets of Sea-Legs in operation in the U.S. and Canada.

How are Sea-Legs powered? Do I need an extra battery?
Sea-Legs run off standard marine-grade boat batteries. There is no need for additional power. We recommend a battery of at least 750 cold-cranking amps.

Will Sea-Legs work on all lake bottoms?
Yes. Sea-Legs are being used on all types of lake and river bottom surfaces. As long as your water is not too deep for Sea-Legs (over 5 feet), Sea-Legs will work well on your lake or river bottom. Your local Authorized Sea-Legs dealer may have further information for you, including recommendations from other boaters on your lake who already have Sea-Legs.

How do Sea-Legs keep my boat level?
Your front and back Sea-Legs can be operated independently or in tandem. Thus you can raise or lower the front of your boat, raise and lower the rear or do both at once, in order to compensate for a less than perfectly level lake bottom.

Will Sea-Legs affect my boat’s performance?
No. When fully retracted, Sea-Legs tuck to within 5 inches of your pontoon deck’s bottom, meaning they do not drag in the water as you drive. Sea-Legs’ total weight is about 300 pounds, evenly distributed on the boat.

Do Sea-Legs carry a warranty?
Yes. Sea-Legs carry a two-year limited warranty. The first year covers parts and labor, the second year parts only.

Do I need to do anything to winterize Sea-Legs?
No. We advise that you retract your Sea-Legs fully, pull your boat off your lake or river and winterize and store it as you normally would. There is no need to do anything extra to winterize Sea-Legs.

Where can I see Sea-Legs in action?
With more than 1000 sets of Sea-Legs on the water today, one of the best places to see Sea-Legs may be on your local lake or river.
