Ok, those of you with these motor lifts, what causes the lowering to stop?  - Rob

Alice,

First of all, it was a pleasure for Allison and I to have the time and the brew with you on Sunday.  I'm glad I could help resolve your anchor bolting issue.  It should hold well, and long term.  Your boat is a beauty, although paralyzed with your motor lift problem.  We had our rather long return drive back yesterday, but excellent travel weather.  

I'll offer a possible solution, short of the very long trek south.  An ounce of effort now could save you pounds of agony later.  You will have the best collection of R22 experts at your doorstep for almost a week.  Stan will have a demo boat in the water and two on display.  Stan has a necessary selling priority during show hours but may be able to help anyway.  Others at the show also can help.  Take along a short video of the working lift, both raising and lowering, from your cell phone camera. This may reveal a problem.  

If you can unstep and transport the boat to Truxton Park, near the end of Spa Creek in Annapolis, which is where Stan or any of us launch, and keep the boat on the trailer, the entire lift assembly is open to inspection and repair.  It has to be very obvious where the travel stoppage occurs and why.  I'll emphasize, a little intuition will go a long way and the diagnosis should be straight-forward.  Given that there have been other lift issues also, the system integrity can be fully verified.  Presto, you'll be back on the water!

If you don't have a trailer, and I know Lee does not, someone needs to pitch in and help.  Stan's trailer will be at the park if the demo boat is in the water, so maybe he will accommodate.  I suspect he wants to help resolve this problem, but within the limits of his schedule.  No doubt your schedule would be burdened, but consider the alternatives.  The very best day would be tommorrow, VIP Day, since show traffic for the small boats is so negligible.  

Remember, Objective - Solution!

Have a good day, call if I can be of help.

>Friday, I received the motor mount and assembled it on the boat.  Today the gentleman who had to take the motor and work on it, came to replace it and attach all the electric fittings.  He said that the motor will not go down all the way.....it goes halfway and gets stuck ....it comes up OK. 
>After spending 1.5 hrs he left the boat with the motor on the mount but the motor's electric wiring not attached. This will make 5 'housecalls' that he's had to make to the boat (and that I have to pay for) in the past month....3 of this due to the faulty motor mount.
