Abstract
An adjustable stanchion assembly for a large capacity boat lift includes a pair of guides, namely mounting channels that are attached to respective sides of a cradle beam. Each mounting channel slidably receives an elongate stanchion element. The positioning of the stanchion element within its respective mounting channel is selectively adjusted. A bunk member is attached to and extends between upper ends of the stanchion elements. The bunk member is pivotably connected to the stanchion elements so that the angle of the bunk member may be adjusted.

An adjustable stanchion assembly for a boat lift having a boat supporting lift platform, said stanchion assembly comprising:
- a guide section for attaching to the lift platform;
- and
- an elongate stanchion section interengaged with said guide section and supporting a bunk section proximate an upper end of said stanchion section;
- said assembly further including at least one threaded connector for interconnecting said bunk section and said stanchion section;
- said stanchion section being longitudinally adjustable relative to said guide section to selectively raise and lower said bunk section;
- and said bunk section being angularly tiltable relative to said lift platform to position said bunk section supportively against the hull of a boat supported by the lift platform.
An adjustable stanchion assembly for a boat lift, which boat lift has a boat supporting lift platform that includes at least one cradle beam extending transversely to the axis of a boat supported on the lift platform, said stanchion assembly comprising:
- a guide section including a pair of guide channels that are attachable to respective sides of the cradle beam;
- and
- an elongate stanchion section interengaged with said guide section and including a pair of elongate stanchion elements which support a bunk member proximate the respective upper ends of said stanchion elements;
- each stanchion element being slidably interengaged with and longitudinally adjustable relative to a respective one of said guide channels for selectively raising and lowering said bunk section, said bunk section being angularly tiltable relatively to said lift platform to position said bunk section supportively against the hull of a boat supported by the lift platform.
An adjustable stanchion assembly for a boat lift having a boat supporting lift platform, said stanchion assembly comprising:
- a guide section for attaching to the lift platform, said guide section including a generally tubular mounting channel that is pivotably attachable to the lift platform;
- and
- an elongate stanchion section interengaged with said guide section and supporting a bunk section proximate an upper end of said stanchion section;
- said stanchion section being longitudinally adjustable relative to said guide section to selectively raise and lower said bunk section;
- and said bunk section being angularly tiltable relative to said lift platform to position said bunk section supportively against the hull of a boat supported by the lift platform.
