[Rhodes22-list] Now electric motor lift

Thu Nov 12 09:39:32 EST 2009

Rick:

Sorry I am late getting back to you on this.  Yes my motor does tilt as it
comes up and it sort of turns itselft to the side.  I need to be carefull
not to rais the motor too much or the motor cover will crunch against the
stern rail.  I don't know exactly how the mechanism tilts but it's a nice
feature.  I am sure Stan could set you up with a nice new electric motor
lift that tilts if you are interested.
