Hi Dennis, I do back the boat and dock it stern first. However, the dock behind the boat is a good 3 feet higher than the transom and I think it'd be difficult to lift it that high. There is a finger pier to starboard that is the same level as the boat. I was thinking of raising the motor with the halyard and move it across the back of the boat and lay it down on the pier. Or I could bring it around the port backstay, through the cockpit, and up onto the pier. I'd much rather use just the halyard since it won't require using a boom extension.

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.

I'd like to leave it in the slip to avoid pullout costs as well ask to avoid the risk of ruining my bottom paint should it need to be out more than 72 hours. Looking online I came up with a system where I'm planning on lashing a 4x4 to the boom. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
