Boat Lift Motor Repair & Replacement in South Florida
When your boat lift motor stops working your vessel is stuck — either in the water or suspended on the lift. JKT Marine diagnoses and repairs boat lift motors throughout Palm Beach and Broward County fast so you get back on the water without delay.
Diagnose first — then repair
We Find the Real Problem — Not Just the Symptom
A boat lift motor that will not run is frustrating — but the motor itself is often not the root cause of the problem. South Florida's saltwater environment creates electrical corrosion, switch failures, and wiring issues that mimic motor failure but can be fixed for a fraction of motor replacement cost. JKT Marine diagnoses every motor problem completely before recommending any repair or replacement.
We check the full electrical pathway — from your shore power connection through the switch, capacitors, wiring, and motor windings — before concluding the motor itself needs replacement. Many lift owners throughout Palm Beach County and Broward County have been told they need a new motor when the actual problem was a failed capacitor or corroded switch connection costing a fraction of that price. We will tell you what is actually wrong and give you a straight repair cost before any work begins.

Boat Lift Motor Repair Services
Complete Motor Diagnostics
Full electrical system diagnosis including motor windings, capacitors, starting components, switches, wiring, and shore power connections. We identify the actual cause of the failure before recommending any repair.
Capacitor & Switch Replacement
Failed capacitors and corroded switches are among the most common causes of boat lift motor failure in South Florida. These components are significantly less expensive to replace than the motor itself — and we always check them first.
Wiring & Electrical Repair
Corroded connections, damaged wiring, and failed control boxes diagnosed and repaired throughout Palm Beach and Broward County. All marine electrical work done to code for safety and insurance compliance.
Motor Replacement
When motor replacement is genuinely needed we source OEM-compatible motors for your specific lift brand and install them correctly — including proper mounting, wiring, and system testing under load.
Control Box & Remote Repair
Lift control boxes and wireless remote systems repaired and replaced for all major brands. If your remote is not communicating with your lift or your control box is unresponsive we diagnose and fix it fast.
Post-Repair Load Testing
Every motor repair is followed by a full operational test under actual load — raising and lowering with your vessel — before we consider the job complete. We do not leave until the system is working correctly.
