Have never wired a boat lift. I have 2 3/4 motors at 13.6 amps 110 or 6.8 220. There is a limit switch. There is a main box then a contactor box that will turn bot lift motors on simultaneously.

And, what are you asking for?

 

[TreeBaron]

A wiring diagram. If possible or, just answer this. It should work on a two pole 15 breaker from the main to the contactor box right?

 

[TreeBaron]

Again, I've never done one and have little experience with motor controls or contactor boxes

You will need to check and make sure the motors are wired for 220v a 15A double pole will hold the load.

Yeah they said 110/220. So I figured 2pole15 would work my question is if the switch inside the control box is 220 and how to wire the whole thing up. These are not a kit. the homeowner pieced this all together and wants me to make it work. I drew my own diagram. But I'm hot sure if it'll hold up.

 

[Hmacanada]

I agree. , probably is 220v , but better to make sure. Also may need disconnecting means for service and such.

 

[Hmacanada]

Forward/ reversing contactors ?

are you looking at the rating of each motor? 6.8+6.8=13.4 ,

That is the control box I've mostly seen around here. There is a link to wiring diagrams. Note the instructions tell you to not use the motor wiring directions but use the directions provided by the controller.

I don't know which control box you have, but if it does not have GFCI protection you need to use a GFI breaker.

Got an Ugly booK ? 220 cause your'll be all day if only 120V!

 

[TreeBaron]

Yeah the motor label is for 110/220

I'll look at these diagrams. Thanks

 

[TreeBaron]

The homeowner started it and stopped. He wired it as 110. Ahhh! I'm not keeping it that way.

You need more than 2 wires to the motor. The motor is wired one way for up and another way for down. Read the controller instructions.

Wire rating
(6.9 x1.25)+6.9= 15.5 amps minimum
Breaker size
(6.9x2.5)= 17 next size up is 20
20+6.9= 26.9 amps max


Edit:Whoops

 

[TreeBaron]

GD motor load!!! Haha. I forgot that. Been wiring too many tract homes.

 

[hardworkingstiff]

Wire rating
(6.9 x1.25)+6.9= 15.5 amps minimum
Breaker size
(6.9x2.5)= 17 next size up is 20
20+6.9= 26.9 amps max


Edit:Whoops

I would do it this way since it is on one circuit and the motors start simultaneously.

(6.9+6.9)*1.25=17.25, use a 20-amp circuit.

How are you incorporating limits up/down
