    Sorry longlake, I probably posted it as a Word document and I should have posted it as a pdf.  I'm attaching it here, please let me know that you got it.

    Well the boat lift is installed after quite a  journey.  I struggled with a set-up parallel to the shoreline versus a perpendicular installation and finally settled on the perpendicular one.  Water depth at the front feet was 4'6" and at the back feet just a little over 7 ft.  After getting great advice from a Shoremaster dealer in Center City, MN, I finally ordered a lift from Boat Lift Warehouse in Snow Hill, NC because of the shipping charges.  Boat Lift Warehouse (BLW from now on) told me that they only sold the Shoremaster Shoreline model (also manufactured by Shoremaster in Fergus Falls, MN) because it was more unassembled and therefore easier to ship as they served the entire East Coast.  I ordered the Shoremaster Shoreline 4000 pound lift with electric motor and it was shipped by Estes freight.  When by crew was ready to assemble the lift, we found there were no bolts, washers, nuts, lift cables, winch, parts list or assembly instructions included.  Very frustrating.  This resulted in another shipment which included those parts but did not include the mounting adapter to attach the electric motor to the winch (I bought one from Amazon Prime).  Moreover the lift came with fixed feet rather than the "C-type" feet shown on their website and the legs were only two feet long as opposed to the three feet long legs which are standard on the Shoremaster (again- no mention of this on the website.  As we had to use longer legs (7 ft. legs cut to ~5/6 ft) on the deep-water end of the lift, I had to order these extra and also cross braces.  The legs were shipped from NC and the cross braces from MN.  Finally the motor mount did not fit on the front leg properly and we had to notch the leg (leg weld in an inappropriate place).  Finally the lift was assembled and walked into the lake by 5 men using inflated truck tires around each leg for buoyancy (which were subsequently cut off after deflation and leveling.  I suggest a thorough investigation of lift dealers and what is included in the lift purchase.  I do not feel I was treated as a valued customer by Boat Lift Warehouse in NC.  The folks in MN were very very helpful.

    Great install.  Getting it set up right the first time is always a challenge.  Always worth the hard work when you can get on the water within 5 minutes :)  Enjoy!
