ABSTRACT:
Apparatus to raise a small boat and outboard motor from a position in the water to a stored position against the mother vessel with the outboard motor substantially vertical while in the storage position. The apparatus has a hinge mount that can be received on the small boat. There is a unitary mount for the outboard motor hinged to the hinge mount. A releasable lock attaches the unitary mount on the small boat to prevent hinging of the mount. There is a connector on the unitary mount remote from the hinge. A lift on the mother vessel is able to attach the connector on the unitary mount. There are abutments on the mother vessel and corresponding abutments on the small boat. These two abutments are able to engage each other to form a hinge about which the small boat can be pivoted during lifting by the lift.
