Lee,
I just finished installing my new electric lift and have been trying to  
figure out your problem. We need pictures man.

Rob,

Yes to all questions. I'll be at a conference this  week so it might be
the weekend before I can get some pictures.

The  strap can slide along the bar but not far due to the alignment of
the winch  and the slot that the strap moves through.  However, if the
winch and  strap weren't aligned straight it does seem like it might pull
the motor  more to one side.  The strap looks like it's centered on the
bar but  it might not take much to pull the whole thing off balance.

Thanks--I  think.  Can't think of an easy fix if that's the  problem.

Lee

Lee,
Well, I've got an old style, yank it up by hand lift, but  that doesn't
stop me from offering suggestions.  How about a few  photos so we can
ponder the situation? I got a look at the new lift when I  was at GBI on
Saturday.  This is the web strap that winds up on a  roller?  It attaches
to the bar that is cockeyed?  Can that strap  slid along the lifting bar?

Rob,

It looks like Alice and I both have similar  problems.  The motor lift
bar doesn't travel in the middle of the  tracks.  One end of the bar is
almost an inch from the track and the  other end of the bar is pushing
hard against the track, bending the  end.

Thinking the weight of the outboard wasn't evenly distributed on  the
motor mount, I moved my outboard as far as I could toward the lose  end
but that didn't help.  Silicon lubrication helps a little, but  that's
just treating the symptoms instead of the cause.  The tracks  are
installed correctly on the boat so the tops and bottoms are the  same
distance apart.  With the weight of the motor and me, the boat  heels
towards the bending end, but I can't imagine that would cause the  motor
mount to slide to one side.  The motor is too heavy to manually  center
the lift during operation.

Any  ideas?

Lee

Lee,
Two beautiful boats, I'm envious.  Did Alice get her  motor lift fixed? -

Gary,

That was me and Alice on her boat.  She is a  beauty:

We were delivering Beats Prozac through Kent Narrows  to a marina where
she'll be dry-docked for the winter.  No sailing but  with the great
weather
and company it was a most enjoyable day.  We  were prepared for a strong
current through the Narrows and weren't  disappointed.  While waiting for
the
bridge to open we were lightly  motoring into the current yet still going
backwards.  I was glad Alice  had a big 9.9 outboard on her boat.

My boat isn't as new or pristine as  Alice's, but Stan told me that red
hulls
are faster:

Don't  know about rum-fueled yellow hulls.

Lee,
Was that you in Kent Narrows  this afternoon about 4 pm across from
Harris
Crab House? Dark blue hull  with furled jib and IMF (red covers)?
Beautiful
boat on a great fall  day.
