[Rhodes22-list] Help with motor mount

Tue Nov 17 08:56:39 EST 2020

My boat is a 1990 but probably similar vintage motor lift. The stopper is
only on the starboard side track with is longer than the port side. It is
not through-bolted to the transom and just unscrews. The bolt is covered
with a plastic or composite bushing.
