Ya I've seen arches with pullies and stanchion poles used to winch outboard, thought I would ask if anyone has done on this size boat. Kato Marine makes a 130lbs stanchion pole lift. Thanks for the input.Trying to lift a 95 lb motor on the deck of a 25' boat is a very difficult task without some sort of assistance or mechanical advantage. I found that out when my brand new outboard bracket snapped in half
Thanks for the insight, guess those 15hp motor brackets don't actually work. Towing it is.Yes, silly. A silly notion. It won’t work out well w/the 15 hp on the sailboat. When you arrive to the trailer launch place, put the engine on the inflatable if you can, and leave there until packing up to go home. Tow the dink.
