NEW COVER COMING
Electric Pontoon Legs
This innovative lifting system enables pontoon boats to literally stand on their own four feet using nothing more than the power from a 12 volt battery.
Whenever you pull into shore, on any type of bottom, you can raise your boat clear of the water in seconds with the touch of a button. Like conventional
Hewitt Lifts, this made-to-go system helps protect your pontoon from the damaging effects of waves and water for longer service life and higher
resale value.
Hewitt Electric Pontoon Legs are constructed from high-grade structural aluminum and solidly bolted to the frame members of your pontoon boat. The complete system adds only 385 lbs
and has a load capacity of 6000 lbs. Maximum lift height is typically 5½’ from the bottom of the legs to the underside of the boat deck, or 3½’ to the bottom of the pontoons.
Standard Features
• All-electronic lifting mechanism. A powerful 12 volt DC motor coupled to an acme screw and nut is used to drive each heavy-duty frame leg module. This design provides a positive
self-locking lift at any height.
• 4-way and independent position control. Allows quick extension and retraction of all four legs plus individual adjustment of any leg to easily level your boat.
• Low-profile design. Legs extend less than 6½” below deck in their stowed position. Will not interfere with trailering or normal operation.
• Large 11½” x 22½” tubular feet evenly distribute weight over a large area for solid footing on hard or soft bottoms. Feet pivot independently for added stability on rocky or uneven terrain.

Works with most makes and models
Hewitt Electric Pontoon Legs can be installed on virtually any twin tube
pontoon boat and most tri-toon models with at least 12” of space between
the pontoons.
The versatile, durable, adjustable pontoon lift that travels with you
Hydraulic Pontoon Legs
Hewitt Hydraulic Pontoon Legs are available in three models to best match the size, style and operating conditions of your pontoon boat. Like the
Hewitt electric system, these models help preserve the appearance and value of your pontoon, eliminate the need to tie off your boat and free up
space at your dock. Enjoy the convenience of push-button operation and the flexibility of a built-in lift that travels with your pontoon.
Built to last longer and stand taller
Hydraulic cylinders are the muscles of any fluid power system. Hewitt Hydraulic Pontoon Legs use 2” cylinders which are 20% stronger than those of competitors. The rest of the supporting structure, including mounting brackets, legs and feet, are made from structural aluminum which offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and natural corrosion resistance. Hewitt
Hydraulic Legs are also well suited to deeper water applications. At maximum leg extension, the underside of the boat’s deck is approximately 6’ above the bottom of the supporting feet.
Designed to work with your boat
There is a Hewitt Hydraulic model for virtually every pontoon boat. Leg assemblies are solidly bolted to the existing frame members of your pontoon boat and will not interfere with
trailering or normal operation. In the retracted position, legs extend less than 6½” below the deck. Boats can be transported with scissor or bunk style trailers. The Standard model only
adds 375 lbs to your boat and has a load capacity of 4000 lbs. Straight Leg and Wide-Base models have a 6000 lb capacity and weigh 425 lbs.

Hydraulic Wide-Base Legs
The standard model is an economical choice for smaller
boats with twin pontoons. The front and rear sets of legs
are tied together and operate in tandem. Each set of legs is
powered by a separate hydraulic pump and can be raised
or lowered independently to level your boat. Leg assemblies are constructed from rugged 4” square tubing.
This model can be used with either twin or triple pontoon boats
and uses heavy-duty 6” diameter aluminum tubing for superior
strength and greater load carrying capacity. This model features
dual synchronized hydraulic pumps front and rear. Each leg
is connected to its own pump, providing faster extension and
retraction. Front and rear legs can be operated separately to
level your boat.
Wide-Base and Straight Leg models are identical with
one exception. Specially designed angled mounting
brackets give these legs the widest base of any onboard lift available today —72”! That’s 24” wider than
the nearest competition. This extra width and stability
is ideal for twin or triple pontoon boat owners who live
or travel in areas of strong winds and rough water.

User-friendly design allows your boat to be
raised or lowered with the press of a single
button. The control also allows independent
operation of front and rear legs for leveling.
“LifTrack,” a unique LED arc-of-travel
indicator, shows the exact position of the
legs during extension and retraction.
A key fob style control is included with
every system. Raise and lower your
boat from the convenience of your
dock or shore.
Heavy-duty Pivot with
Brass Bushings
The top end of each support leg pivots
on a 1¼” solid machined bar fitted with
a brass bushing for smooth movement to
prevent wear and give superior resistance
to corrosion and wear.
Extra Reinforcement
Attachment/pivot points for the feet and
hydraulic cylinders are reinforced through
the entire width of the legs. The welded
sleeve is constructed from 11/8” diameter
tubing with an extra thick ¼” sidewall.
(Compared to competitor models that rely only on a bolt and single hole through aluminum.)

I/O Hydraulic Pontoon Legs
Hewitt I/O Legs are specially designed for I/O pontoon boats with a performance package that prevents the use of other legs due to a lack of space between
pontoons or concerns over loss of speed from rear leg drag. The I/O mounting system positions the rear legs behind the pontoons. There’s nothing in the water
stream to slow you down or affect performance. I/O Hydraulic Legs can be installed on almost any pontoon boat and can be used in combination with two
front leg options, the Hewitt hydraulic straight leg or wide base design.
Standard Features
Hewitt I/O Pontoon Legs use the same heavy-duty materials, construction techniques and pumps as our other hydraulic leg systems. They also offer the
same simple push button operation. Features unique to the I/O Pontoon Legs are shown below.
Support Bracket
Rear Leg Placement
Tow Hook
The slimline under deck mounting track solidly
secures the rear legs while allowing water to
freely flow between the pontoons.
In the stowed position, feet are raised
completely out of the water and tucked in
behind the pontoon tubes.
A horizontal cross member gives the legs
lateral stability and provides a tow bar with
hook for quick, easy attachment of ski lines.
Canopies
Hewitt Pontoon Legs protect your boat from the bottom up;
our free-standing canopies protect it from the top down! These
highly functional all-aluminum frames look great and can be
topped off with your choice of fabric and color. Canopies allow
you to keep boat interiors cooler during hot summer days.
Six uprights are used on 29 ft and longer canopies.
A free-standing canopy system to protect your Pontoon Legs equipped pontoon boat
Exposure to sun, wind and driving rain can ruin your pontoon from the inside out. Cracking, fading and peeling not only takes away from the look, comfort and function of your pontoon, it
reduces the value. Hewitt custom-designed canopies provide years of beautiful, maintenance-free protection. Canopies are available in 120” or 138” widths and a wide variety of lengths.
Choose from three styles: standard, tower or peak roof frame with vinyl or SeaMark fabric covering.
Features
• Free-standing frame made from large, 3” square aluminum tubing. Cross braced design allows
the entire canopy and frame to be moved in one piece if needed. Screw-in anchoring posts included.
• Canopy frame top with cross bows positioned every two feet or 18” on 138” widths.
• Quick-release center support straps keep cover from billowing in the wind.

Tension Cords
• Tension cords keep covering taut and simplify installation and removal.
• Heat-welded seams prevent thread rot and water infiltration.
• Canopy length can be extended at any time for little additional cost.
• 84” canopy extensions allow easy adjustment for different boat heights.
