BH-360 PWC Belt-Driven Hoist Cover & Cable Kit
Elevate your PWC lift with the BH-360 PWC Belt-Driven Hoist Cover & Cable Kit – your ticket to top-notch performance and dependability.
This kit packs in a belt-driven PWC hoist cover and a boat lift cable assembly, giving you the assurance of reliability. Take your pick between a stainless steel cable for saltwater or a galvanized cable for freshwater, catering to your specific water environment.
At its core is the top-quality 7 x 19 aircraft cable, recognized for its flexibility in boat lift applications. Safety is key, and BH-USA recommends a 5:1 safety factor for working loads to ensure peace of mind.
This kit is aligned with ASME standards, adopting a safe working load (SWL) approach. Just a heads up – it’s not designed for lifting humans; it’s exclusively crafted for boat lifts.
Selecting the right cable size is a breeze, ranging from 3/16 inch to 3/8 inch for various lifting capacities. Take into account your boat’s weight, fuel, water, cargo, cradle, and bunks for the perfect cable match.
Beyond the trusty cables, the kit also throws in a belt-drive hoist cover to shield your PWC lift and guarantee smooth operation. Worried about installation? Fret not – all the mounting fasteners you need are included.
While BH-USA boasts quality products, they’re real about cable wear and tear. Regular check-ups are your best bet for safe usage. Don’t forget the occasional lubrication, steer clear of shock loads, and stick to safety standards for storage, usage, and maintenance. Your PWC lift deserves the best, and this kit delivers just that!

The first step in deciding what size wire rope is required for your lift is to determine the total weight to be lifted which will include the “wet” weight of the boat, the maximum estimated cargo that could be put in the boat during the lift, and the weight of the lifting cradle
- Boat
- Fuel
- Water (Ballast, live well, potable, etc.)
- Any cargo items in the boat (Note: There should never be people in the boat while being lifted.)
- Boat cradle and bunks
The boat weight specified by a manufacturer is typically the “dry” weight of the boat. To get the “wet” weight, you must include the weight of the fuel (gasoline is 6.30 lb/US gal and diesel is 6.94 lb/US gal), the weight of any water (8.34 lb/US gal) that may ever be present in the boat and the estimated weight of the possible cargo (ie – coolers, skis, etc.).

NOT FOR LIFTING HUMANS
No product can operate indefinitely at its rated capacity. Wire rope and Cable must be inspected regularly for any deterioration which may result in the loss of original strength. Users must determine whether further use of the rope would constitute a safety hazard to life or property. Lubricate operating ropes regularly. Keep out from under any raised loads and keep out of the line of force of any load.
AVOID SHOCK LOADS.
Due to the uncontrollable situations in which this cable is used after the purchase, BH-USA cannot warranty or be held liable for cable past the purchase date. It is the responsibility of the ultimate user to determine a working load limit for each application. Many factors should be considered: included among, but not limited to, loads applied, speed of operation, acceleration or deceleration, length of rope or cable, shock loads, abrasion, corrosion, number, size, condition, and location of drums and sheaves, facilities for inspection, and the danger to life and property should a rope or cable break. Wire Ropes and Cables must be stored, used, lubricated, and maintained in accordance with normal safety standards; and must be properly designed, maintained, and operated. Inspect regularly.
Do not kink, knot, or crush. Do not ever use wire rope sold by or made by BH-USA to lift humans in any way.
