[Rhodes22-list] Bunk spacing on a boat lift

[BARRY RUEHLEN]

We have made significant progress on the rebuild of our Rhodes22. In the next few days we should be able to launch her and find out if she floats. The question for the group pertains to bunk spacing on a boatlift that I'm having installed now. Typical boatlift bunks are straight, as there are only two support beams on a lift , and they are over 8' apart. I'm assuming that the bunks would want to be fairly close to the shoal keel, maybe around 18" or so inbetween. I would like to have them a bit wider, but I'm not sure about the bottom strength of a sailboat.  We will try to get away without the second set of support bunks higher up on the bow. I will attempt to attach a picture of a typical lift showing the straight bunks I will be dealing with.

My electric start outboard was installed by Stan at the factory in 2014 and he just connected the outboard to a block in the lazarette with the winch.

For those with electric start outboards, did you make the electric
connection at the winch or did you run wires back to the battery under the
settee? If the latter, what gauge wire did you use?
