Boat Lift Problems Solved! This Ingenius App Works With Your Lift To Keep The Boat Afloat

You’re away from your Lake home, and the boat lift goes down. What do you do? And more importantly: do you even know it happened?

It does happen!

Every year, boat owners on Lake of the Ozarks get a phone call with really bad news about their boat lift, and depending on how long it takes to discover, the results can be disastrous. But thanks to some brilliant engineering, there’s a new boat lift control system helping boaters avoid disaster: ICON.

"Boat lift controllers have never exactly been a real sexy or 'exciting' product...  until now!" said Tim Thompson, co-owner. "There are many influences in other markets that design products that just plug and play and make life easier and more enjoyable for everyone. That's what ICON does for boating. Once customers use ICON, they are like - ‘Of course! This is how it should be!’ That's why we say: 'Love Your Lift.' You absolutely will once you control it with ICON."

ICON is a truly ingenious system for boat lifts, because it's built to solve boaters' problems...

Problem: Docking the boat can be a pain. Most boaters need to put the lift up after they launch, so returning to the dock means pulling alongside, hopping off, lowering the lift, hopping back on the boat, and docking it. Or trying to stay close enough with a ‘key fob’. 

Solution: ICON allows owners to ditch the key fob and control their lift simply and easily with their phone. 

Problem: Boat owners can’t see what’s happening to their lift while they’re away. 

Solution: ICON has a built-in camera that allows users a live view of their boat/lift any time, from anywhere!

Problem: If the boat lift goes down, a second homeowners’ only hope is that a neighbor will notice and let them know.

Solution: If the boat lift goes down, ICON sends an instant text notification, so you know right away. It also sends notifications if the boat lift undergoes significant movement, if the dock loses power, or even if the Internet connection goes down (solving the “If I haven’t gotten a notification, it must be okay” problem.)

Problem: Boat lift controls are awkward to use…. Especially for new boaters (who might be the ones hopping onto the dock to lower the lift), the control levers can seem almost deliberately confusing.

Solution: The lift control box uses a touchscreen interface, with icons and labels that make sense even to a novice. Of course, with the ability to lower and raise the lift via the app, many ICON owners rarely open the control box anymore.

Problem: Boat lift control boxes can be intrusively large… and not for any apparent reason.

Solution: ICON's lift control boxes are significantly more compact, less noisy, and faster. AND since they’re 3D printed, they even include custom shapes, like a lighthouse, and a wide variety of color options.

Problem: Cold winter temperatures reduce the air pressure in the lift tanks, which can result in an unexpected drop of the lift.

Solution: ICON has an auto-maintainer that will detect if water conditions or tank pressure changes and it’ll automatically add air as needed.

The most popular features of ICON:

• Fully programmable Boat lift positions. Up, Board and Down, can be easily programmed. Boaters especially love the “Board” position: the operator can simply push the “Board” button and the boat lift will drop to the saved boarding position. Many boating-related injuries actually occur during boarding and disembarking: the height difference from the dock to the boat has resulted in plenty of falls. With ICON, the boat can be lowered to the ideal boarding height and then, once everyone is aboard, another tap on the app lowers the lift the rest of the way.

• The app control, which allows the captain to go ahead and drop the lift when the bow is pointed home.  There’s no waiting and bumping around the dock when you arrive.

• The level sensor is digital, and provides constant feedback to the lift controller.  The sensor is very accurate and not susceptible to problems associated with freezing water, air bubbles or debris in the water.

• Two programmable power outlets that can be controlled remotely with the app or can be programmed to be on or off based on day(s) and time(s), temperature or even light (dusk to dawn). This is ideal for plugging in dock lighting or a deicer!

• Built-in camera provides a LIVE view of the boat and lift via the app or website.

It’s this kind of attention to detail and focus on problem-solving that’s already made ICON so popular with boaters. ICON boat lift controls actually make boating safer and a lot more enjoyable
