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

[Ron Singerman]

Rick,

Serenity ( who does not qualify as a "new" Rhodes)  has the electric lift. 
I had Stan install it because I got tired of crawling through the stern 
pulpit and the traveler in order to tilt the motor under way to get it 
completely out of the HOH. I have a Tohatsu 9.8 and I am able to raise the 
motor and  put the earmuffs on @ my slip after being out in the salt HOH in 
order to flush it. I am not aware of any way of lowering the motor, short of 
cutting the strap, if the electric motor fails.
