[QUOTE="MattR, post: 192320, member: 5120"] If there is a clear area close to the dock, and clear area on the shore, then I might have a solution for you. You could build a wooden ramp that would be partially submerged at waters edge with it ending up on shore. Then on the end where it is on shore, you could make a mounting bracket for a hand winch to pull the boat onto the ramp. To launch, just unhook the winch and push it down into the water. That system would give you a place to keep the boat out of the water when not in use, yet readily available. Just make sure you TILT THE MOTOR UP when bringing it onto the ramp and vice versa. Also a good idea to chain it up and secure it with a lock. Once the boat is all the way up the ramp, you would have easy access to the motor and no worries about dropping it into the water.
