[Rhodes22-list] Converting Electric Winch Motor Lift to a Manual System

[Gmorganflier]

Peter,

I’ll be curious to see your update. The attached photo is the only one I
have of the GBI manual lift. I wish there was some way to lift vertically,
but still tilt at the top of travel. That’s an engineering problem with
possibly no solution. My Mercury 9.9 Bigfoot is not easy to tilt by hand and
I was trying to convert Stan’s invention to do it manually rather than with
an electric winch. 

I think Stan is right about some previous owner doing something To my boat
to throw the tracks out of alignment. I’ve got a lot of side to side play in
my mount and there is a heavy duty metal beam across the bottom of the
tracks which I’ve never seen on another R22. This is probably why my
electric winch causes the scary noises coming from the transom as the motor
gets toward the top.
