GE painted motors can replace many boat hoist motors. These motors are NEMA 56 frame (see picture left), 1725 RPM for boat hoists. These motors are reversible and have a 1 year warranty. The motors may be wired for 110V or 220V operation. The motors are TENV (Totally Enclosed Non-Venting) so that dirt dobbers and other pests cannot nest inside the motor. These motors do not come with wiring or a pulley.

1. Check motor horsepower and frame size (see pictures left).
2. Check motor manufacturer.
3. See Wire Size Chart (below, on the left) to ensure proper wire size.
4. See wiring diagrams (below, on the left) to connect GE motors to factory Boat Hoist USA wire harnesses to ensure proper wiring.
5. Ensure that the capacitor (the large box on top of the motor) is in the same position as the motor that you are replacing to prevent problems with mounting.
6. Make sure that the motor that you purchase can be used with the voltage at your lift (115V/230V).
