Re: M_Boats: sliding outboard motor mount

From the General Boats summary blurb @ _www.rhodes22.com_ (http://www.rhodes22.com)

"Outboard motor brackets are generally ugly, awkward, ill tempered. The Rhodes Motor Lift is good looking (for a bracket), slides up and down with a mere pull of a cockpit pendant, setting depth to match your shoal; all with no macho strong-back acrobatics required." You can get the mechanical pendant arrangement, but their newer system is electrical, just hit a switch and it deploys. I believe older Rhodes have a more conventional system.
