Garhauer hoist at work

Posted by Picasa
CAUTION: THE MAHOGANY MOUNTING BOARD ILLUSTRATED LATER SPLIT HORIZONTALLY ALONG THE UPPER MOUNTING BOLT LINE AND THE ENGINE FELL INTO THE WATER AT FULL THROTTLE. SEE MARCH 10, 2008, ENTRY FOR EVENT DESCRIPTION AND MARCH 17, 2008, ENTRY FOR A FAIL-PROOF MOUNTING BOARD INSTALLATION.

When I bought the Garhauer radar mast I also bought the accessory removable hoist. I intended it for putting my little Honda outboard on my dinghy. But it proved invaluable in moving back to an outboard for Narrow Escape's auxilliary power. While I was lucky to have some help mounting the Garelick hydraulic bracket the first time, I was able to do the removal and reinstallation alone with the help of this hoist.
