Was Sunday sail: Now electric motor lift

Lee, if your bar is not level, you may have cracked one of the  
bearings on the end (which guides it in the tract).  They are  
plastic.  This happen to my boat after  it was struck from the stern.  
Motor had to come off to replace the bearings.

Rob,

Don't know if these pictures will help much.  Not any better at photography than I am at sailing.

Pictures of motor lift:

At+Ease+10-5-09+021.jpg

Picture of bar that fits into the track:

At+Ease+10-5-09+023.jpg

Picture of lift from above with motor down.  If you continue operating the winch (for a millisecond) after the motor is all the way down, the belt won't have any tension on it.  Thanks to your help, I pulled the belt to starboard and discovered that it helped center the lift in the track while raising.  After further experimentation I think the winch is barely adequate to lift my 135 lb. motor, the track needs to be well-greased (siliconed), and my battery needs to be fully charged.

At+Ease+10-5-09+022.jpg

Picture of motor mount slightly off-center in track.  On Alice's lift, the bar was so off-center that it slipped out of the track and dropped the motor into the water.

Thanks for your help!

Anyone who has one of these see any problems?  

Lee,
The one photo shows the strap coming out of the stern mounted slot and the slot is cracked.  It that because of the install or has the strap slipped to the side and caused that slot to crack?  135 pounds is a lot of motor too, wonder what the rating on that lift is? - rob

Rob,

Not sure why the motor lift is on crack.  The picture shows the belt to starboard because that's where I pushed it.  I think the crack may be caused from the pressure of the belt pushing down and aft.  Alice's boat has a similar crack.

I have the electric lift on my new R22 2009 for a long shaft 8hp Yamaha and so far this first season it has worked great.  I typically let it down all the way and then take up the slack.  It is powered by my non-house battery and I make sure I don't run anything else from this battery to reserve power when needed.  I think this is a link to the winch instructions.

Lee,
>From the photos I don't see anything that looks unusual. You may have found
 the answer yourself. An electric winch motor draws a lot of amperage. Your
 battery needs to be fully charged and fresh for it to provide sufficient
power  to operate the lift. I don't see that 135 lbs would be to much weight
for the  lift motor, but then my Tohatsu weighs in at a hefty 48 pounds. Try
spraying a  little WD40 on the underside of the lift belt.

The link the Chris posted for the winch says it can lift 1,700 pounds, so I doubt it's the weight of the motor.  

Chris,
I see your strap appears to have slid towards the center of your boat and is not centered in the slot.  Comments?

I have the electric lift on my new R22 2009 for a long shaft 8hp Yamaha
and so far this first season it has worked great.  I typically let it
down all the way and then take up the slack.  It is powered by my
non-house battery and I make sure I don't run anything else from this
battery to reserve power when needed.  I think this is a link to the
winch instructions.

Rummy,

48 lbs!  What's the horsepower of that motor, and how well does it move Rum Runner?  On a lake you don't have current to deal with, but at 48 lbs you are making us with 100 lbs plus motor think we are carrying excess wait and horsepower.

Caesar

Lee,
>From the photos I don't see anything that looks unusual. You may have found
the answer yourself. An electric winch motor draws a lot of amperage. Your
battery needs to be fully charged and fresh for it to provide sufficient
power  to operate the lift. I don't see that 135 lbs would be to much weight
for the  lift motor, but then my Tohatsu weighs in at a hefty 48 pounds. Try
spraying a  little WD40 on the underside of the lift belt.

Chris,

Does your lift tilt your motor when it reaches the top?  If so, how?

Caesar,
The motor is a 8 BHP Tohatsu, 2 stroke without electric start. It's easy to
 start  with just half of a pull. It's slightly louder than a four stroke  
and burns a little more gas, but I love it. Two thirds throttle will bring
the  boat to hull speed around 6 mph. I have never been at a lack for power,
even in  high winds and heavy waves.

I have a Nissan (NS 8B) version of that motor, but with electric start, remote, and alternator.  Plenty of power, quiet, and light!

Thanks Rummy.
For two more horsepower than you, I'm carrying approximately 50 more lbs with electric start.  Hmm.

My sailing skill and practice presently does not allow me to recognize the difference that extra weight makes.  Once the boat is moving because of the wind I'm happy.  If and when I start racing however, it may.  

I hope by the time I"m ready for a new motor, I'm also ready for a much bigger boat.

Caesar,
Beware of the bigger boat envy. I know many people that have been on the  
list that made the move to bigger boats. Many came back to the Rhodes and the
 others wish they could. Sail with friends if they have bigger boats, but I
 like  to single hand whenever possible. Bigger boats require crew and then
 you are stuck sailing on their schedules or not sailing at all. That's why
you  see many bigger boats that stay tied up at the dock year after year
and never go  out.

Re: Was lift, Now Big Boat Fever

Caesar,

I definitely agree with Rummy on this one.  Bigger boats certainly have advantages over our Rhodes, but the most significant one to me would be overnight comfort and ability for lengthy voyages.  It just doesn't seem like many people have the time for cruises that last more than a weekend.  Even the retirees down at my marina don't take their yachts out much.

Sailing small boats is just so much simpler and so much more fun.

I just posted some pictures of Art, Allison, and I sailing that were taken by a friend of mine.  While he was photographing us, we were photographing him:

At+Ease+10-5-09+003.jpg

At+Ease+10-5-09+009.jpg

Dan has a Freedom30 and I love his boat.  30' foot is not that big and it is designed for easy singlehandling.  Self-tacking jib.  It sails well with just the mainsail.  Lazy jacks.  All lines lead to easy reach of the helm.  No stays or shrouds supporting the mast.  Yet with all these conveniences it still takes a significant amount of time and energy to uncover the main, untie it, and try to keep the boat pointed into the wind to raise the mainsail.  Taking the sail back in and putting it away takes longer.  Try reefing a big mainsail in high winds.  Sailing his boat singlehanded if far easier than getting it in and out of his slip without help.  He can do it but it's a tremendous amount of effort compared to our small boats.  It's just as easy to manhandle our boats in and out of slips as it is to motor in and out.

Smaller boats than a Rhodes22 are more fun to sail; but then the sailing can wear you out, get you wet, and cause you to spill your beer.  Can't have that.

As Goldilocks would say, "Ahhh, this boat is just right!"

Stan, Rummy,

What does one who is dreaming, and desiring to sail to the Caribbean and other exotic far away places do?
