Lower your boat in the water until it floats. Get a piece of black tape and mark you cable at the water level. Measure the depth from the tape to the bottom of the cradle. This is how much water you need to get your boat off the lift. Be sure to select the lowest cradle beam if one is lower that the other.

Next, measure your current water level at the lowest beam. Then determine how far the lake can fall before you lack enough water under your boat to float. For example, if you need 2 feet to float and have 5 feet water, you have three feet to give before you better start hopping.

Monitor lake level on this site.

My pontoon needs about 24 inches to float since I have a lift that goes between the pontoons (not under pontoons).
