Abstract
An appartus for guiding the legs of a lift boat. Roller assemblies are used to guide the legs. The rollers may be placed at any location or in any number either vertically or around the leg to adequately center the leg. The roller can either have a metal surface that rolls along the leg or be coated with a resilient material. The base of the roller can either be rigidly mounted to the vessel or incorporate resilient material between the roller and the vessel. A means of adjusting the clearance between the leg and roller may be incorporated in the roller assembly.
