I agree about wanting the boat stored in a way that waves and wotnot won't toss it around, though. Lifting it also makes it easier to spray down the hull to keep it clean.
No...it does not, at least not on outboard engines like mine. Once you tilt the engine out of the water, there is a manual locking device that you set the engine down on that relieves the hyd. pressure.

As I mentioned before, being on the end of my canal, there is little to no wake/wave action.

After doing a year of research, I am quite sure the floating dock system is the best option for ME. May not be in some other folks cases, but for me it is.
