Not a great shot but shows not only the OB hoist (left center) but the arch on Magic with solar panels and dingy hoist in place.

Hi

 

I installed a stainless outfitters motor hoist on the starboard side.  I don’t know how different this is from the Garhauer, but it works well.  Attached is a picture.  Note that I also added a structural support to the rail for added strength.

 

Cheers

The PO installed it on the stern of the boat. The ball is mounted port side of the locker on the swim platform.  I will try to remember to take a picture where the ball is mounted when we are at the boat Sunday.

I've been trying to figure out where to mount a Garhauer outboard engine hoist. The only place I've come up with is immediately ahead of the port stern cleat.

Anyone done this and found other workable possibilities?

We had Garhauer also and I can't say enough positive about the organization and their products (and prices).  I must confess I lucked into this location for the lift but it worked great.  We kept the 9.9 on the dinghy a large majority of the time (99 percent!!).  When we lifted and carried the dinghy it was supported in 3 places at all times.  In this picture it is up half way just to get prop out of the water between dinghy trips.
