Set the alarm for 10:12 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 10:12 p.m.

While preparing to move the boat motor above the tide line, you can set this alarm for 10:12 pm before the water becomes a concern. That gives you a clear cue to stop other evening tasks, check the path from the boat, and have a firm grip ready. You still have 48 minutes before 11:00 pm, enough room to finish the lift without letting it drift into the next hour.

With the boat motor already on your mind, keep the alarm page where you can return to it quickly and confirm that it remains active. A browser may give a background tab fewer resources, especially when the phone is handling several apps, so avoid relying on a buried page without checking it. If the browser closes or the phone goes to sleep, the alarm may not sound, and the boat motor could remain below the tide line longer than planned.

Once the boat motor is secure, leave a practical buffer before whatever you still need to do tonight. At 10:12 pm, darkness can make loose ropes, wet steps, and small tools harder to spot near the shore, particularly around an unlit provincial beach or fish landing. Put the motor on a stable surface, collect the lifting gear, and use the remaining time before 11:00 pm to wash off saltwater and clear the route rather than rushing straight into the next task.
