[QUOTE="Sinktip, post: 325227, member: 11438"] Got the hoist this afternoon and this evening I lifted the motor off the transom. It could not have gone much better. Bolt holes were well sealed and dry. Did a test fit of the CMC unit, hooked it up to the battery and checked for clearances on the transom clamps. Measurements for cav plate and height work out something like this: with the cmc mounted at the same height as the motor was, the cav plate will raise about 2". Since the cav plate was 2.5" below the bottom of the transom, with the 2" increase it will still be 1/2" below. Not sure what the best way to deal with this is. I could drill 2 holes in the CMC lower down and mount it and inch or two higher, or just run it as is and see how it works. I am leaning to running it as is; the stock setup just looks so clean and will certainly be more stable with the holes farther apart. I think I will need to sleep on it tonight decide in the morning. Here's some pics, **** that CMC unit looks well made. A thing of beauty. [/QUOTE]
