[Rhodes22-list] Outboard motor handling

[Steven Alm]

I used a 10’ 4X4 as a lever and a step ladder as the fulcrum. I rigged up a
block and tackle to hoist the motor off the transom, pivoted over and
lowered to the stand I made with 2X4s. Used a two wheel hand truck to move
it around on the stand.

My wife helped by rotating the motor to the right position to lower the
clamps on the stand — and the reverse to put it back on the boat — but the
rig took all the weight. Thank you Archimedes!
