The Admiral and I use a halyard to lift and/return Touche's early 80's vintage Evinrude 7.5 from the starboard cockpit locker all the time. It's pretty easy to maneuver it and put it on the transom of the dinghy which is usually tied midships.
Should work for the transom. Once the load is on the halyard, you really don't need a lot of effort to swing it around. The angle from the masthead to the transom isn't that great. Can you put the boat in the slip stern in? If so, just take the load on the halyard and have a friend standing on the dock pull it aft and then put it on the pier. Dennis C.
