PROJECT DESCRIPTION: DOCK LIFT MOTOR HOOKUP & ELECTRICAL REPAIRS – FORT MYERS, FL

Coharbor Electric was contacted by a waterfront property owner in Fort Myers, FL 33901, who was experiencing issues with their dock lift system. The motors were not functioning properly, and the overall lift controls had become unreliable. Our team was asked to both connect new dock lift motors and troubleshoot the electrical problems so the system could operate smoothly again.

WHAT WE DID:

Hooked up new dock lift motors using marine-rated wiring, conduit, and connectors
Verified electrical feeds from the main service panel to ensure proper voltage and load capacity
Inspected the dock lift control system for wiring faults, loose connections, or corroded terminals
Repaired electrical issues that were preventing smooth operation of the lift
Tested motor operation under load to confirm safe and reliable performance
Applied NEC-compliant methods and marine safety standards for a long-lasting solution

THE RESULT:

The customer’s dock lift system is now operating as intended, with both motors correctly connected and control issues resolved. By using marine-grade electrical materials, we ensured that the installation is not only safe but also durable against the harsh waterfront environment. The property owner can now confidently use their lift to raise and lower their boat, knowing that the system has been wired securely and brought back to full function.
