Naturally, if your boat lift is in bad shape, damage can result to the boat itself. Since the bunk portion of your lift comes directly in contact with the hull of the boat, and supports a significant amount of weight when your boat is lifted out of the water, it stands to reason that the bunks need to be inspected on a regular basis and replaced when needed. ***Related Blog: [How a New Seawall Can Increase the Value of Your Home](https://blog.duncanseawall.com/how-a-new-seawall-can-increase-the-value-of-your-home)***  **Bunk Replacement Kits** The best way to find the correct bunks for your boat lift is to call the original manufacturer or a reputable supplier. In general, you can buy the parts individually or you can purchase a complete bunk replacement kit. The complete kit includes all of the necessary hardware and brackets as well as aluminum bunk rails cut to match the length of your lift. Make sure that you purchase a replacement kit that is rated for the weight and size of boat you will be lifting.
