Hi, All

If you have an outboard hoist on your Leopard 44 (or 42 or 43), I'd appreciate information on it (Brand/Model and how mounted).

Stay safe,

hi
Have a leopard 44 2011
we just made a simple block and tackle (rated +600lbs) and hooked it up with a soft shackle not very fancy but my wife can raise and lower a 25 hp Yamaha reasonable simple

Thanks, Steve! How did you mount the block and tackle, and what do you do with the outboard once it's off the dinghy (e.g., offload to a cart and bring it somewhere)? In the past, we've carried it to the port anchor locker (which is hard on our backs).

Also, where are you located (we're in North Palm Beach, FL).

Cheers,
Jon
