[Rhodes22-list] motor lift

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hmm, we have the GBI motor mount and our outboard does not have to be 
tilted to get the prop out of the water. Out motor is a Yamaha long 
shaft (not extra-long). It does occasionally dip the prop a bit 
depending on wave action and the amount of heel but it doesn't drag 
in the water.
