Boat-Lift Remote Keypad Pedestal Pads

The boat-lift motor already has a pad on a lot of Pinellas seawalls. The remote keypad often does not. It ends up screwed to a loose post, sitting in splash, or blocking the dock walk. PaverForge sets a small pedestal pad for the keypad and a standing surface for the person using it.

What the pad has to do

The keypad plinth is not the winch pad. It sits where a person can reach it from the seawall walk, above the normal splash line, with the face turned away from the prevailing rain. A conduit sleeve is set before the pavers so the low-voltage or control cable is replaceable. The sleeve gets a flush collar, and polymeric sand stays out of it.

The standing pad is pitched to the seawall or to a drain, not back at the house. It is isolated from the lift motor pad so vibration and a future motor swap do not crack the walk. Cleats, the hose bib, and the ladder landing stay clear. We do not cover the seawall cap joint.

Where this shows up

Canal lots in Shore Acres, Isla del Sol, Treasure Island, and the Davis Islands-style fingers around St. Pete Beach all have the same detail. The lift electrician lands the keypad. PaverForge builds the plinth, the sleeve, and the paver field around it.
