A Better Way to Power Your Boat Lift
The Tide Tamer Coastal Controller is the next generation of boat lift control — engineered for the salt, sun, and challenges of life on the water. Designed with both installers and boat owners in mind, it combines wireless convenience, field-selectable voltage, and universal motor compatibility in a clean, durable enclosure that looks at home on any dock.
This is not a generic control box adapted for marine use. It is a coastal-ready control solution designed to help installers work more efficiently and give boat owners a better, more reliable lift experience.

Enclosure: NEMA 4X fiberglass enclosure
Primary benefit: Cleaner installs, better control, and long-term coastal reliability
Built for the Salt, Sun, and Daily Demands of the Dock
Boat lift controls live in one of the harshest places on your property: the dock.
Salt air, moisture, UV exposure, heat, storms, electrical demand, and daily use all take a toll on ordinary control systems. A basic retrofit box may work for a while, but marine environments require more than basic protection.
The Coastal Controller was designed for that reality.
With a durable enclosure, corrosion-resistant hardware, wireless operation, flexible voltage selection, and installer-friendly internal layout, it gives boat owners a cleaner, smarter, and more reliable way to operate their lift.
For installers, it helps simplify wiring, reduce complexity, and support a better finished product.
Why It’s Different
Most retrofit controllers were not designed around life on the water.
The Coastal Controller was.
It is built to handle the conditions that cause ordinary control boxes to fail: salt exposure, humidity, UV, heat, corrosion, cramped wiring, and long-term electrical demand.
The result is a control system designed to be easier to install, easier to service, and easier to live with.
Designed to Help With:
Cleaner dockside installations
Better protection for internal wiring and components
Wireless lift operation
Smart-control compatibility
Reduced install complexity
Better long-term reliability in coastal conditions
A more premium experience for waterfront owners
