The ShoreMaster Boat Lift Boss Key Fob Remote is a replacement handheld transmitter for compatible Boat Lift Boss wireless-remote systems. The main buttons operate lift direction, while the smaller light button can control an optional compatible canopy light when the motor and receiver support that feature. Because Boat Lift Boss remotes and programming procedures vary by generation, this key fob should be matched to the existing controller rather than treated as a universal remote.
Why Keep a Replacement Remote on Hand?
Convenient Lift Operation
Raise or lower the boat lift from a better viewing position on the dock or in the boat.
Optional Light Control
The third button can operate a compatible Boat Lift Boss canopy light through supported wireless-control systems.
Compact Key-Fob Format
Attach it to your boat keys or a floating keychain so the controller stays easy to reach.
Replacement, Not a Conversion Kit
It replaces a compatible transmitter but does not add a wireless receiver to a key-turn-only motor.
Compatibility Checklist
Good Match When
Existing Wireless Boat Lift Boss System
- Your current system already operates by Boat Lift Boss key-fob remote.
- The replacement part number and button layout match the existing transmitter or controller documentation.
- You have the correct programming instructions for the controller generation.
Do Not Assume Compatibility When
Different Controller or Motor Generation
- The motor is key-turn only and has no wireless receiver.
- The existing remote looks different or uses another part number.
- The system is a hydraulic-lift remote, Gen 6 controller or another brand without confirmed cross-compatibility.

Identify the Boat Lift Boss Generation First
Boat Lift Boss remote styles and pairing steps have changed over time. Compare the new remote with the existing transmitter, motor label and controller documentation before opening or programming it.
Do not rely only on motor voltage. A 120V and a 12/24V motor may use similar controls, but the controller generation and receiver determine remote compatibility.
Pairing & Related Accessories
Programming usually requires disconnecting power and following a button-and-reconnect sequence, but the exact procedure varies by generation. Use the correct guide for your controller and keep people clear of the lift during testing.
The light button operates only when a compatible Boat Lift Boss canopy light is connected to a supported motor output.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this remote work with every Lift Boss motor?
No. It is intended for compatible Boat Lift Boss wireless-control systems that use this remote style and part number. Confirm the controller generation before ordering.
Can this key fob convert my key-turn motor to wireless operation?
No. A replacement key fob does not add the receiver or internal control components required for wireless operation. A complete compatible wireless conversion or wireless motor configuration is required.
What does the smaller button do?
On supported systems, the smaller button controls an optional compatible canopy light connected to the Boat Lift Boss light output. It will not control a light if the motor or receiver does not support that feature.
How do I pair the replacement remote?
Use the programming instructions for your specific Boat Lift Boss generation. Pairing procedures differ, so identify the controller first, keep the lift area clear and test the raise/lower direction carefully after programming.
Can more than one remote be paired to a motor?
Remote capacity and pairing behavior can vary by controller generation. Consult the correct system manual or confirm the controller model before purchasing multiple transmitters.
