One of the best ways to protect your boat from the sun and keep it clean is with a boat cover. However, traditional boat covers can often be difficult to use and can cause excess mildew build up over time. With many competing boat covers on the market, it can be hard to know which one is right for your boat and lift setup.
With nearly 40 years in the industry, our Florida-based team has seen continued success and unmatched protection with the ShoreScreen Power Curtain: a remotely-operated mesh curtain system that works seamlessly alongside your existing boathouse or free-standing boat lift.
In this post, we’re going to look at five benefits of the ShoreScreen Power Curtain by ShoreStation, so you can know if it’s right for you and your watercraft.
ShoreStation is one of the leading boat lift manufacturers, providing quality free-standing and boathouse lifts, canopies, curtains and other accessories since 1959. Our team at R.J.’s has worked alongside them for almost 40 years and continues to recommend and install their products for their quality, durability and affordability.
1. Easy to use.
Unlike traditional boat covers, the ShoreScreen Power Curtain operates with the click of a button. The four mesh panels are mounted to the boathouse and hang down seven feet. The weighted curtains are operated with a remote, giving you easy access to your boat and seamless storage after a day on the water.
The Power Curtain covers your boat with the touch of a button.
2. Prevents sun damage.
The Power Curtain’s mesh panels help keep your boat out of the sun, preventing damage and excess heat. The panels block up to 80% of UV rays while also keeping out debris and insects.
The mesh curtains protect your watercraft from sun damage.

3. Keeps your boat clean.
While touchless boat covers and other vinyl covers can protect your boat from the sun, they often lock in mildew and moisture, causing your boat to stay dirty and even become moldy.
The Power Curtain allows airflow and prevents mildew build-up.
The Power Curtain’s mesh panels allow airflow, keeping your boat mildew free. Some of our customers even report only having to rinse off their boat once or twice a year!
4. Easy to store.
In the event of a hurricane or bad weather, or if you’re planning on removing your boat from the lift for extended periods of time, it’s important that you store your lift accessories, such as your canopy (if you have a free-standing lift) or covers. The Power Curtain easily rolls up at the push of a button, and can be safely stored without having to remove it from the lift.
