Mini Crane for lifting Heavy outboard motors

[Bigplumbs]

I am getting older and am finding it more and more difficult to lift my 53KG outboards on and off my Boats that are on trailers. I can manage the 15hp which is 36KG just but much over this is a back injury waiting to happen.

Below is my solution which might help someone or save some back injury's

Real PBO stuff.

Thought it might help the forum to get better

Counting it as a motor boat - how is the GP14 coming on

Still moving forward with it. I just suddenly got quite a bit of work to do. It will certainly be on the water next year

This is a outboard crane I use to lift my outboard from my boat mounting on to the dingy on the side of my boat

Same Idea. I am wondering what you attach to on the top of the outboard have you some sort of Bridal and what size and weight is your outboard ?

My outboard is a 15hp 2 stroke and I replaced the bolts that hold the power head with eye bolts and made up a3 legged chain with snap hooks and a ring at the s=attachment to a rope block attached to then crane

I use a deck sheet winch to lift the outboard

its no really the weight it's the difficultness of the outboard getting over the pushpin then down onto the dingy transom
