[Rhodes22-list] Motor Hoists and engine weights

[Robert Quinn]

When we put a Yamaha 9.9 on our '88, we had to upgrade the lift.  General
Boats is the best place to do this as their lift is the best I've ever seen.

> I own a 1988 Rhodes 22 which came equipped with the original motor mount.
It seems in good shape and hoists and lowers my present engine (a 9.9 HP
Johnson 2 stroke circa 1988) without any problems.  For a number of reasons,
I would like to purchase a new  9.9 HP 4 stroke engine for the coming
sailing season. These engines are considerably heavier (100-110 lbs) than
what I now own. My questions to the readers of this list are as follows: Is
it advisable to upgrade the motor hoist to accommodate these heavier loads?
If so, should I purchase it from GB or some other source? Thanks for your
insights on this issue.
