How does one remove a boat from a trailer? This is an inherently arduous and dangerous task and should not be attempted without thorough knowledge of the tools needed and the mechanical expertise and physical capacity to attempt it. Although there are numerous written articles on how to remove a boat from a trailer, there are no other tools engineered or manufactured on the market today, other than “Portable Boat Lift”, that has been engineered specifically to do the job; that is not to say there are no other ways to do it and you should thoroughly research all available blogs and information found on a web search of the title. With a “Portable Boat Lift” and by following the steps below, specific to using the Portable Boat Lift, you can finally work on your boat or trailer when, where, and how you want with total access to the hull or trailer with a tool designed and engineered to help you.

3. Block the transom using cinder or wooden blocks [Diag.3]. Make sure that there is a 2”x8”x16" wooden plank between the pontoons and the blocks to prevent damage to the boat. If the blocks and wood do not fit between the ground and the boat, you may have to use additional pieces of 2”x8”x16" wooden plank to compensate for the difference. more
This is a proven method for lifting your boat off the trailer bunks for temporarily working on your pontoons. Cleaning, restoring and protecting your pontoons when your boat is still on the trailer is difficult. You can’t get to the bottom of the pontoons so they stay dirty and covered in marine growth plus the cleaners are likely to damage the carpeting and wood on the bunks and can damage the paint on the trailer. Following is a safe and easy way to lift your boat off the bunks by about 6 to 8 inches so you can protect your trailer with plastic and get to the bottom of the pontoons. If the boat were ever to slip off the blocks, it only has a few inches to fall back onto the trailer so there is no damage. Still, it’s important to work safely.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
1. Hydraulic Bottle Jack of a capacity that meets or exceeds the weight of your boat.
2. 9 to 12 cinder blocks or wooden blocks 8" x 8" x 16"
3. 2” x 8” planks cut to 16” length pieces. You will need a minimum 3 pieces, but more may be required.
4. Wooden shims as required
1. Place the boat and trailer on a firm, level surface [Diag.1].
2. Lower the tongue of the trailer to the ground to elevate the transom. [Diag.2]. You may need a friend to help keep the tongue down.
