The Boat Lift Boss Gen 6 with Remote—No Install Kit is intended for customers who already have the correct lift-specific mounting hardware or are replacing a compatible Boat Lift Boss motor on an existing setup. Gen 6 combines direct-drive lift operation with three convenient ways to control the system: the Boat Lift Boss smartphone app, included wireless remotes and the weather-resistant keypad on the unit. Programmable upper, lower and boarding positions make everyday launch and storage routines more consistent while reducing manual cranking at the dock.
What Makes Gen 6 Different?
App, Remote & Keypad Control
Operate the lift through the Bluetooth-enabled app, included wireless remotes or the controls located directly on the motor.
Three Programmable Positions
Set upper, lower and boarding positions, then use auto-run and auto-stop functionality for repeatable lift placement.
Two Power Configurations
Choose 120V AC when dockside electrical service is available, or 12/24V DC for a battery-based setup with optional solar charging.
Weather-Ready, Serviceable Design
A UV-protected keypad, sealed electronics and quick-detach service components are designed for long-term waterfront use and easier field service.

This Listing Does Not Include an Installation Kit
Order this version only when you already have the correct drive adapter, torque arm and mounting hardware for your lift, or when you are replacing a compatible motor and reusing the approved installation components.
Starting with a manual ShoreMaster Whisper Winch and need the mounting components too? Choose the Boat Lift Boss Gen 6 with ShoreMaster Whisper Winch Installation Kit.
Is the Gen 6 Motor-Only Version Right for You?
Choose this no-kit version for a confirmed replacement installation or when the correct lift-specific hardware is already on hand.
Choose the complete Gen 6 kit when converting a compatible ShoreMaster Whisper Winch from manual wheel operation and you still need the ShoreMaster-specific mounting components.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is missing from the no-install-kit version?
This listing includes the Gen 6 motor and its control features, but it does not include the lift-specific drive adapter, torque arm or mounting hardware needed to connect the motor to a winch. Those components must already be available and confirmed compatible.
Will this fit every ShoreMaster boat lift?
No. Compatibility depends on the lift model, winch configuration and installation hardware. Gen 6 is designed for compatible ShoreMaster Whisper Winch lifts, but the exact setup should be verified before ordering.
What is the difference between Gen 6 and the standard LiftBoss motor?
Gen 6 adds Bluetooth app control, an on-unit keypad, programmable upper, lower and boarding positions, auto-run/auto-stop functionality and quick-service electronics. The standard LiftBoss option focuses on straightforward key-turn or wireless-remote operation at a lower cost.
Should I choose 120V or 12/24V?
Choose 120V when code-compliant, GFCI-protected AC power is already available at the shoreline. Choose 12/24V when you prefer a marine-battery setup or need the flexibility of optional solar charging.
Does Gen 6 include wireless remotes in addition to the app?
Yes. The Gen 6 system includes wireless remote control capability in addition to Bluetooth app control and the on-unit keypad, so the lift can be operated without relying on only one control method.
