FAQs
Why should I use a bow guide?
A bow guide helps prevent one of the most common (and costly) boat lift mistakes—overrunning the lift. This ensures better load balance, extends lift life, and protects your boat and dock from damage.
Is the bow guide compatible with all boat types?
While beneficial for most boats, bow guides are especially recommended for V-Hull boats where the shape of the hull can make lift alignment more difficult.
Can this be used with other ShoreMaster accessories?
Yes, the Bow Guide works alongside Guide-Ons, Motor Stops, and other lift accessories for a complete, secure boat docking system.
