[Rhodes22-list] High thrust engine-transom

[Mary Lou Troy]

Burt,
There are a lot of people out there with very heavy motors on the GB 
6:1, 7:1 motor lifts and I don't recall much about motor lift 
problems other than a couple of rebuilds of the lift itself. We've 
never noticed any flex in our transom in 9 years with the 85 lb. 
Honda on the motor lift. On the other hand, with a boat, it's always something.
