    Hey all,
    I’m having an issue with the swim platform closing fully. It stops about 2 feet from full closure. I’m assuming it’s a sensor. Any of you had this issue? Thanks in advance.

    Check your hydraulic fluid.

    For the rest of us; What brand or mfg is the platform?
    Does it appear to rise evenly?
    Are the lacking arms free to allow the last bit of travel up?
    How is the fluid level and pressures?
    Any manuals?

    Hard to tell without knowing the brand of the platform. Marquipt? TNT? Nautical Structure?

    I ve never seen a sensor outside in the water... would not work well with marine growth.

    when you say it stops, do you mean it stops moving or does the pump stop running ? I d check the basics first starting with fluid level.

    I'm not positive about the 63GT, but I believe that at Fairline they mostly install platforms components made by H+B Technics GmbH.
