ABSTRACT:
A stationary rectangular base frame is mounted underwater and supports generally upwardly extending, swingable, parallel links or arms. A lift platform or lift pads are supported at the upper end portions of the arms and, in combination with the base frame and arms, form one or more upright parallelograms. A hydraulic jack is connected extending generally diagonally of the parallelogram arrangement and has a plunger for swinging the arms to translate the lift platform or pads up to remove a watercraft from the water or down to lower the watercraft back into the water.
