Abstract:
A housing for a boat lift motor, pulley drive and gear drive comprising first and second housing bodies cooperatively defining a chamber adapted to house a boat lift motor, a pulley drive and a gear drive; said first housing body having opposite side edge portions, opposite upper and lower edge portions and substantially medially located vertical and horizontal planes disposed substantially normal to each other; said edge portions being peripherally disposed about a main wall of said first housing body; said main wall including first and second wall portions located at opposite sides of said horizontal plane and being adapted for selective removal whereby a gear driven shaft can project therethrough to adapt said first housing body for selective utilization in either of two positions of installation oriented 180.degree. relative to each other; a substantially vertically disposed wall portion of said main wall defining an inwardly opening generally concave chamber adapted to at least partially receive therein a pulley of an associated pulley drive; and said vertically disposed wall portion being laterally offset relative to said vertical plane and being substantially bisected by said horizontal plane to thereby accommodate a pulley therein in each of said two positions of 180.degree. oriented installation.
