Leaving a boat lift in the water is tricky, and dependent on the type of lift you have.... I know people that do it, and simply move the lift into deeper water, so it is submerged lower then the ice will form. I also know someone that has one behind a breakwater so its protected and he leaves his in with just a bubbler.....
Legally yes I believe they are supposed to be removed, but I think that is more about not wanting people to bubble just lifts... On top of which the issue isn't as much the ice forming around the lift... as it is when the sheets of ice start moving in the spring....
Anytime someone starts to talk about a lift I ask the simple question of what do you think it is going to do for you?
