Boat lift assemblies and methods. In an example embodiment, a free-standing boat lift assembly can include a width-adjustable outer frame defined by vertical towers that support upper horizontal support beams, and one or more cable winding shafts mounted to one or more of the upper horizontal support beams. In some examples, the cable winding shaft(s) is/are mounted to the upper support beam(s) with one or more multi-part bearing blocks. In an example embodiment, a bearing block portion of a boat lift assembly can include a U-shaped shaft receiving recess and a cover plate. In some examples, the U-shaped shaft receiving recess defines a grease valley at a bottom of the U-shape. In some examples, a cable retaining plate can be mounted to one or more bearing blocks to assist in retaining wound cable on a spool surrounding the cable winding shaft.
