Mary Lou,

Thanks very much for those links — I’ll check them out.  It’s great that you remain on the list despite having sold your Rhodes.  It certainly helps to have some institutional memory.

And thanks to those who have responded thus far to my inquiry about electric motors.  I’m hoping to find some solution that doesn’t break the bank, and that also works with the clever motor hoist that Stan designed for the Rhodes.

Basically I’d just like something that would get me in and out of the slip, and perhaps slowly move me back to the marina should the wind die.  Any recommendations for specific ones?
