I have the electric lift on my new R22 2009 for a long shaft 8hp Yamaha
and so far this first season it has worked great.  I typically let it
down all the way and then take up the slack.  It is powered by my
non-house battery and I make sure I don't run anything else from this
battery to reserve power when needed.  I think this is a link to the
winch instructions.

Anyone who has one of these see any problems?  

Lee,
The one photo shows the strap coming out of the stern mounted slot and
the slot is cracked.  It that because of the install or has the strap
slipped to the side and caused that slot to crack?  135 pounds is a lot
of motor too, wonder what the rating on that lift is? - rob

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.
