The universal hydraulic lift for the outboard motor is represented by a high-quality structural unit, which can be found on almost every vessel equipped with a powerful power device. If such a device is not included in the basic package, then it must be independently purchased and mounted immediately after the purchase of a swimming facility. Modern hydraulic lift contributes to more economical fuel consumption, increases the maximum speed, improves controllability, and also reduces acceleration time.
Description
The classic hydraulic lift for the outboard motor is designed for coordinated operation of the engine, which has a capacity of 50 l / s. But on sale you can also find units for weaker models. The weight of the finished product varies from 10 to 20 kilograms. To control the lift, a small panel with two buttons is used, which the master can install permanently next to the critical devices. You can also resort to the mobile version, placing the equipment in any convenient place on the ship.
Manufacturers are engaged in serial production of hydraulic lifts for the outboard motor, which are favorably distinguished by the following characteristics:
- The whole system is hidden in a powerful case, due to which there are no external hoses and pumps that could fail before the due date.
- Standard loading capacity is 3.5 tons.
- The lifts are installed on the transom of the boat using ordinary bolts, after which the engine itself is hung. Power is supplied from the on-board network (12 Volts).
Characteristic
The hydraulic lift for the outboard motor is most common among hunters and fishermen. Such popularity is explained quite simply: these are universal mechanized devices that allow changes to be made to adjust the position of the power unit. It is strictly forbidden to install the unit on sports vessels. Installation of the classic hydraulic lift is carried out using ordinary bolts. Due to this, he remains motionless even in the most extreme situations.
Boats that are heavy or not powerful enough need strong traction in order to go on planing in a timely manner. Universal electro-hydraulic hoists can significantly reduce the ventilation and slipping of the screw by smoothly lowering the motor to a greater depth. Only when the required speed is reached, the engine can be raised to improve the degree of controllability, as well as minimize the effect of friction.
Professional model
SIA-PRO products are perfect for engines with power up to 50 liters. from. The hydraulic lift is useful for those who are tired of running aft many times a day and independently lift a heavy motor out of the water when they need to land on the shore. The owner of the unit will only need to perform a quality installation between the boat transom and outboard. These manipulations will take only a few hours of free time. The hydraulic lift of this series compares favorably with the following advantages:
- The safety, dynamics and controllability of the boat improves, as you can control the trim level on the go.
- No need to spend a lot of money, as the product is notable for its availability.
- You can lift the motor out of the water without getting up from the driver's seat.
The unit is produced by the well-known company "SIA-PRO", which has been operating in the domestic market for several years and has been able to establish itself well.
Trim control
Over the past few years, hydraulic lifting for the Yamaha outboard motor has been very popular, which compares favorably with all its analogues in its quality and durability. But the finished product is expensive, which is why it is better to assemble the unit at home. In addition to the classic control of the immersion depth of a bulky engine, a do-it-yourself hydraulic lift for an outboard motor will allow you to smoothly change the angle of inclination of the active mechanism. In the process of designing all the necessary parameters, you need to rely on a certain indicator of speed and workload.
One of the most important functions in everyday use of the outboard motor is considered to be a trim system. Its main task is to more actively control the running trim. A man can continuously monitor the position of the engine, without even turning around. Due to this, the final fuel consumption is significantly reduced, the engine resource is increased, and the performance indicator also increases.
Powerful equipment for powerboats
The Power-Lift device is designed for professional control of the position of outboard motors, due to which it is possible to adjust the depth of immersion of the propeller and, depending on the required speed, coordination conditions on the water and loading the boat, select the most suitable operating parameters. Since products in this category are quite expensive, many craftsmen prefer to use a reliable home-made hydraulic lift for an outboard motor. But if the performer does not have the necessary skills, then it is better to refuse such an undertaking. Only a professional device can guarantee a significant increase in ship speed (by more than 14%) and a decrease in hull vibration.
