[Rhodes22-list] Old Motor Lift

[Ronald Lipton]

I had a similar problem, although my lift had plastic rails.
It is relatively easy to remove the old pieces and drill a set
of holes that match the originals in a new plastic part. I used
1.5" nylon 6/6 which is UV resistant, although rather soft.  I
would guess that "starboard" material would work as well.
I can take a picture next time I am at the boat - but probably not
for a couple of weeks.
