[Rhodes22-list] motor lift

[Ron Singerman]

I would be interested in which model Lou used.  I am at the point that 
raising stan's motor mount and then leaning over to tilt the motor is a 
hassle.  I have thought of stan's motorized version, but I also believe in 
KISS.  I wonder if the model with the longer throw will raise the motor 
enough to negate having to tilt the motor to get the prop out of the HOH.. 
In addition, would the weight of  90 lbs. be enough to easily lower the 
motor.  Lou if your on-line, please jump in.

Fair winds,
