[Rhodes22-list] motor broke away

[Lowe, Rob]

Cary,
What part(s) actually failed?  I see the photo but it's unclear to me what broke or failed.  I don't have the same lift so I'm not much help here. - rob

again HELP. Wed. the 25th I was motoring from my slip out on to the lake and kerplunk. The motor raising part of the boat fell off with the motor attached and still running. I also had it attached with a s/s chain. Lucky or not.? ? ? Stan no longer makes the parts for an 86. He said he has long moved to newer and hopefully better designs. It seems the starboard material used to let the motor slide in the rails failed. My question is should I attempt to repair with parts of better materials or buy a gerneric  system for raising and lowering one's motor . Say something that would fit a Catalina 22? Looking for advice from the centuries of experience on the list Cary Tolbert S/V Whisper '86 Radford, VA
