Here in a few weeks, I'm planning on getting a jackplate for my boat and installing it myself(with help from a friend). Just wondering what the easiest way is to lift my motor(90 hp Yamaha) from my transom to be able to get in to install the jackplate? I know some people say a cherry picker(Engine Hoist), but I don't have one of those. Also going to try to find a good sturdy low-hanging tree limb.....but in the mean time, I thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions. Keep in mind, I don't need to take it all the way off, just raise it up(and back) enough to be able to install the 3 1/2" jackplate. Any suggestions?
