Presto XL500 Davit Lift Installation

I received an email from Presto Marine. It appears they had a vendor issue on the cylinder fittings. They are sending me all new hydraulic fittings.

Thanks again for the lift installation videos and review. I've used our lift one season (Florida winter) and regularly rinsed with fresh water and lubed the rail bearings with T9 but they are binding up. One other user (in Miami) said he replaces bearings annually. What has your experience been? Thanks.

Did you get the rail bearing thing figured out? I noticed one side is getting a bit sticky.

We have a friend that is considering the Presto davit lift and he is very curious as to the outcome of your situation with the rusting and Presto's response from May 2023 on that.
He is also wondering if you would be willing to talk with him. His name is Greg and he purchased a '52 Pursuit a few months ago. He has been researching it as best he can and he is very technical. He asked me to reach out because he is not a Sea Ray owner or part of Club SeaRay.
We are Sea Ray owners and are just trying to help him out. Let us know if he can contact you and the best way to reach out. Thank you.
