ABSTRACT:
A load lifting device for small watercraft has a vertical post having a lower post portion extending downwardly in the water from the top of the dock and rigidly mounted thereto and having an upwardly extending rectilinear extension and a vertically moveable cradle cantilevered off the post with a winch at the top of the extension connected to the cradle for raising and lowering it; the upwardly extending extension of the post being mounted on the lower post portion for rotation relative thereto so that when the cradle is moved vertically to a position carried by the extension it may revolve with such extension to swing a watercraft carried by the cradle over the dock or the water as desired. A lock is provided for preventing the post and extension from rotating during transition of the cradle between the two.
