Just had a look in my photobucket library but cannot find one.
My 15 hp Mariner outboard has a GRP undertray and I drilled and fitted an eye bolt each side and one on the metal lift handle by the pull starter. The GRP deflects a little but a large washer distributes the load.
I also have a Suzuki 20 hp and I removed 2 of the bolts than connect the leg to the under tray and replaced them with eye bolts and again used the lift handle. At home at moment nd boat is 600 km away so cannot get a pic sorry.[/

'I've only ever transferred small outboards (up to 3.3 bhp) using my mini Davit and the outboard handle. The big problem with a 20 bhp. plus motor would be the differential motions of the tender and the mothership in anything other than calm conditions .... Best of luck.

My 15hp I transfer to my tender using a swinging davit but only in very calm conditions like the tender itself that I store on my for deck during passages.
My 20 hp is only used as a spare or to drive my main boat if engine fails when power in needed. I use 2 handy billy's from my taga to move it to a stern bracket. The taga hoists can also be used to lift my tender for very short passages.
