[Rhodes22-list] Now electric motor lift

[Leland]

Rob,

Don't know if these pictures will help much.  Not any better at photography
than I am at sailing.

Pictures of motor lift:

Picture of bar that fits into the track:

Picture of lift from above with motor down.  If you continue operating the
winch (for a millisecond) after the motor is all the way down, the belt
won't have any tension on it.  Thanks to your help, I pulled the belt to
starboard and discovered that it helped center the lift in the track while
raising.  After further experimentation I think the winch is barely adequate
to lift my 135 lb. motor, the track needs to be well-greased (siliconed),
and my battery needs to be fully charged.

Picture of motor mount slightly off-center in track.  On Alice's lift, the
bar was so off-center that it slipped out of the track and dropped the motor
into the water.
