[Rhodes22-list] Wiring Q. with the electric O/B lift

[BenCittadino]

Rick;

I really like the lift and the electric start. The lift does bind every so
often but I just "jiggle" the motor and it drops right down. It's all right
in front of you so there is no mystery about how to relieve a bind in one
spot or another. Of course, I do think on occasion of the possibility of the
whole thing tearing off the transom as the lift and my 9.9 Yamaha are pretty
heavy.
