What do you mean when you say "turned off the breaker to keep it on"?
What style Hi-Tide lift do you have?
The only way it should ever lower is if the motors are sent power to lower the lift. You can actually remove the motors from the lift / gear box and the cradle will still not lower on its own. On all of the newer style Hi-Tide lifts, there is a keyed power shut off on the side of the control box that allows you to easily secure power to the lift. If you read through the manual, Hi-Tide recommends the power ALWAYS be secured when not using the lift for this exact reason. If the issue is a short in your control box, you should be able to find the drawings on the HiTide website, and most qualified electricians could trouble shoot it for you if your not handy with a technical drawing and multi meter.
Watermark is the local Hi-Tide dealer, have you checked with them to see if they could send someone to help trouble shoot it?
