[Rhodes22-list] Lowering motor on electric lift if battery dies?

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Stan told me that the odd-looking metal handle I found on my boat is for manually operating the engine lift.  I have never tried it, so have no idea how useful it truly is. Don

I have the manual multi-purchase block and tackle lift on my boat and I've
never not been able to drop my motor in the water....sorry, had to throw
that one in.
