BH-360 PWC Cable Kit
The BH-360 PWC Cable Kit is an all-in-one package for reliable boat lift cables. Made for the BH-360 belt-driven PWC lift, this kit includes 1/4 inch boat lift cables with an easy-to-install swaged loop.
Versatility is key – choose between saltwater and freshwater versions. Saltwater comes with stainless steel cables for corrosion resistance, while freshwater has galvanized cables for rust protection.
These cables are built tough with 7 x 19 aircraft cable, known for flexibility and strength in boat lift applications.
Safety is a priority, and BH-USA follows ASME guidelines for a recommended safety factor. Importantly, these cables are strictly for boat lift use, not for lifting humans.
Selecting the right cable size is crucial. Look at the lifting capacity, minimum breaking strength, and safe working limit. For example, the 1/4 inch stainless steel cable in the saltwater version lifts 1,750 lbs. with a minimum breaking strength of 6,400 lbs. and a safe working limit of 1,600 lbs.
Consider boat weight, fuel, water, cargo, cradle, and bunks to determine the right cable size. BH-USA provides test certificates for transparency and quality assurance.
The BH-360 PWC Cable Kit is your go-to for boat lift applications. With durable cables, safety standards, and reliable performance, it ensures peace of mind for boat owners. Stick to the guidelines, consider lifting scenarios, and enjoy safe and efficient boat lifting.

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.
