Boat Hoist Apparatus and Method of Use

摘要

A boat hoist apparatus for accessible manipulation of toggle switches of a boat hoist control. The boat hoist is comprised of a boat hoist control box, a winch, winch cables, and a boat cradle. The boat hoist switch handle is comprised of a vertical rotatable control shaft mounted on upper and lower bearing brackets, a switch control lever, middle and lower horizontal handles attached to the control shaft, a pivoting connection link between the switch control lever and the first hoist switch, and a pivoting connection link between the first hoist switch and the second hoist switch. Rotation of the control shaft by means of the lower or middle horizontal handle will pivot the switch control lever in the same direction and simultaneously turn the first and second hoist toggle switches by means of the pivoting links, actuating the boat hoist control box to raise or lower a boat.
