Will Erickson Lift Sling Work With Sea-Doo Personal Watercraft For Hoisting Out Of the Water

Updated 04/29/2015 | Published 04/28/2015

Question:

I am purchasing a 1996 Seadoo GTI and am looking for a sling to use with my existing davit to take out of the water. The ski weighs 485 1bs so I know the sling will handle the weight but I am trying to figure out if the sling will work with that model. Have attached a photo that may help. Thanks,

Thanks for the photo of the Sea-Doo.

The Erickson Lift Sling, part # EM02000 has 36 inch long bars with 3 grips on each that will grip the Sea-Doo sides, right below the black hard rubber bumper. You will want to make sure you lift the boat slowly when using the sling. It is also noted that the sling is not designed to be used for storage. I noted on your photo where the sling will be attached when hoisting it out of the water.
