From the Mfg's website located here: http://www.pontoonlegs.com/index.html

Quietly raise and lower pontoon legs with a touch of a button

This innovative lifting system enables pontoon boats to literally stand on their own four feet using nothing more than the power from a 12 volt battery. Whenever you pull into shore, on any type of bottom, you can raise your boat clear of the water in seconds with the touch of a button. Like conventional Hewitt Lifts, this made-to-go system helps protect your pontoon from the damaging effects of waves and water for longer service life and higher resale value.

Hewitt Electric Pontoon Legs are constructed from high-grade structural aluminum and solidly bolted to the frame members of your pontoon boat. The complete system adds only 385 lbs and has a load capacity of 6000 lbs. Maximum lift height is typically 5½' from the bottom of the legs to the underside of the boat deck, or 3½' to the bottom of the pontoons.

To have Hewitt Pontoon Legs installed on your boat, contact your dealer.

Features

All-electronic lifting mechanism. A powerful 12 volt DC motor coupled to an acme screw and nut is used to drive each heavy-duty frame leg module. This design provides a positive self-locking lift at any height.
4-way and independent position control. Allows quick extension and retraction of all four legs plus individual adjustment of any leg to easily level your boat.
Low-profile design. Legs extend less than 6½" below deck in their stowed position. Will not interfere with trailering or normal operation.
Large 11½" x 22½" tubular feet evenly distribute weight over a large area for solid footing on hard or soft bottoms. Feet pivot independently for added stability on rocky or uneven terrain.

Probably more appropriate for salt water applications......in fresh water the greatest thing about a pontoon IMHO is the ability to just power up on the shore and not worry about it :D

Unless it's made out of aluminum it's not any good for saltwater, it would be ate up in no time.

Me too! Also, it easier for us fat, drunk chicks to get in without climbing ...I can't carry my weight and there's nothing sexy about lifting a whale on a boat :)

I don't know...I'll ask the hot chicks. I like Pontoons there's plenty of room to shake my booty and store the food! I specially like the ones with kitchens and grills.

Neighbor added a set of those to his 'toon over the winter last year.
His are brand name Sea Legs.
He has front to back "camper" enclosure and overnights and spends weekends on his boat.
He says that he did not like the rocking and swaying from the waves and currents so added the Sea Legs.
But, by the time he added the legs, cylinders, pumps, extra battery, and all the hydraulics it barely floated.
He bought a third 'toon and made the boat a tri-toon.
He says he likes it and enjoys sleeping on the boat now.
But the rest of the folks on our little lake think it looks a bit silly when he raises her up just to park for a while.
Only a few spots on our lake that he has found where he can use them.
You need a firm and fairly flat bottom to keep from sinking in or "listing" and leaning, possibly tipping over if bad enough.
