Hello gang. I have a Rhodes I sail on Long Beach Island. I have not posted on the list for years. I had my boat redone after Hurricane Sandy. General Boats added a motor lift. Last weekend it stopped working. There may be a problem with the rocker switch or maybe it’s the motor. Can anyone tell me who manufactured the motor, where I can get replacement parts and is there a design description printed somewhere to guide me on how to service it or repair it?
I have no idea how to get it repaired or what is wrong with it. To me, motors on sailboats are great. They are a great asset unless you need them. My outboard motors have always worked perfectly in calm weather when they were not critical. I have sailed back into my slip on a number of occasions swearing at technology.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.I probably should not have agreed to add the motor lift knowing this day would come.
