Sunstream’s SwiftShield automatic boat cover system helps you to use your boat more and protect your investment. Say farewell to the frustration that comes with traditional boat covers and hello to boating anytime you want. Be on the water in just 30 seconds with the push of a remote. Who knew engineering could be so much fun?
No more hassle or muscling your cover to snap it on. When it’s time to cover your boat after a full day on the water, the strength and precision of the hydraulics guide the cover on and hold it tightly so nothing gets in. Smooth, strong and secure.
The only thing more important than convenience is protection, and that starts with a custom fit cover. Your boat is measured digitally for the optimal fit to secure your boat (top, sides and rear) from the elements and open aft venting enables quick drying. When you’re on the water, the cover is stored on the roller so you don’t have to stow it. Covering has never been easier with this mechanically assisted system that helps you cover your boat with far less handling.
Sunstream designs for the long term with marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel hardware so the SwiftShield will stay strong in fresh or salt water. Our reliable hydraulic design ensures years of use while water-soluble fluid helps to protect the environment.
We think the Sunstream Swiftshield automatic boat cover system is a gamechanger which is why we wanted to make it available to as many boaters as possible. The SwiftShield pairs perfectly with the SunLift X, SunLift Legacy, FloatLift, and Helix-P. Additionally, we offer configurations for other types of pile lifts, elevator lifts, and swing arm airlifts.
Introducing the Sunstream Bluetooth® transmitter and smartphone app. Now it’s even more convenient to control your Sunstream boat lift with the remote that’s always with you. The two-way communication transfers data to and from a smartphone and the Sunstream lift, enabling the app to display the current voltage, charging status, battery health, performance data and diagnostic data, as well as provide basic Up and Down functionality. Another industry first, from the leaders in boat lift innovation.
SwiftShield is a hydraulic automatic boat cover system that consists of an aluminum arm-style and roller mechanism and custom-made marine grade boat cover. With the press of a button, the SwiftShield arm guides the cover on or off your boat.
SwiftShield is compatible with the entire range of Sunstream boat lifts but is not currently offered for Helix-Sport, SunPort2 or SunLift mini PWC lifts.
Sunstream recommends not operating the SwiftShield in winds above 25mph; securing your cover by the tie down points when winds are between 40mph-70mph; and removing your cover when winds exceed are to exceed 70mph.
SwiftShield is designed to work with a selection of hydraulic and cable lifts but not all brands. Contact us for specific details about compatibility with your lift.
The SwiftShield product line incudes offerings for some boats up to 40’ in length, depending on the boat. Please contact us to determine if SwiftShield will work with your boat.
SwiftShield will not work for Bass Boats or similarly styled “flat” boats with bow mounted trolling motors. Additionally, there are boat features such as bow mounted trolling motors or poles that may prohibit the ability to use a SwiftShield. Other boat features may also prevent use of a SwiftShield.

It is recommended to remove the cover and store it in a protected, dry area in case of hurricane. If you must keep your cover on the roller, these additional steps can be taken to safeguard the cover and roller much as possible.
Run cover system all the way to the forward position, rolling the cover onto the roller. Insert a 3/8” X 5” or longer bolt or screwdriver into the slot on the side of the shark fin and into the track on the roller. This will keep the roller from releasing the spring tension. Disconnect the lanyards from the bow sprit. Wrap any excess cover around the roller. Using two ropes, Tie the center of the cover tight around the drum of the roller and wrap the excess rope in both directions to the outside of the drum to keep the cover secure on the roller. Use special care to ensure there are no large pieces of fabric that will flap in the wind.
Optional: Use a heavy-duty furniture wrap as used for moving to wrap the cover on the roller and further protect the cover from any wind damage.
Run the SwiftShield system to the closed/ rear position for storage during the storm. This should be done whether the cover is secured within the roller or removed from the roller. This will ensure that the hydraulics and the system are not under any kind of extra load from the wind and will ensure that the lift is balanced for the storm.
Please note that hurricanes, severe weather, and other environmental conditions are considered Acts of God. Damage resulting from these conditions—including damage to the lift, cover, and/or vessel is not covered under warranty and remains solely the responsibility and discretion of the property owner.
My brand new Cobalt took a direct hit from hurricane Ian with 153 mph winds and storm surge 6 ft over my dock and over my piles. My SwiftShield kept the boat dry and protected like nothing ever happened, with no damage to my boat or cover! With the whole region so devastated, I was fully expecting I had lost my new boat, so this is a very nice surprise.
I got the 8,000 lb lift and the automated cover for my 21’ Mastercraft. And the cover fits like a glove over our boat! The cover isn’t cheap, but each time I look at it, I am glad I spent the extra money for it. Plus, it’s like the boat is wrapped in a safety deposit box!
Very good fit. No issues with rain and going on 3 years.
There [is] no other way to cover or uncover boat! I love this cover! It would take 2-3 people to put a cover on my boat manually.
