FAQs:

What does the motor stop protect against? 

It prevents your boat from drifting too far forward on the lift during loading. It protects the motor, hull, and lift frame from impact. 

Is this necessary if I already use bow guides or guide-ons? 

Yes. Bow guides and side guides help with alignment, but motor stops are specifically designed to catch the stern and prevent rear overrun—especially important for outboard-powered boats. 

Does it work with any lift? 

The motor stop is compatible with ShoreMaster Vertical and Hydraulic lifts with 2" x 4.5" rear rack beams. Choose the model that matches your lift rack style.
