The lift is parallel to the dock.
I dug a small trench from the jet ski lift area into the boathouse and the battery and charger are plugged in inside the boathouse. I really just spread the sod a little with a spade and used direct bury cable. I ran decent size wires so that they would supply the necessary amperage to the motor. The total wire run is about 20 feet. If that option was not available I would have used a solar charger.
The connectors at the lift look like these (Amazon) so it just unplugs when the season is over.
