Or put a Davit Hoist on the rear of the trailer, the Harbor Freight
37555 is perfect, just get a longer piece of pipe to weld it to the
trailer chassis in the corner. Oh, and spritz the jack cylinder and
winch every time with LPS so the rust worms don't get it.

Good idea, as long as you can lift it off to store inside so it isn't
stolen. They are heavy and awkward.

I would consider a lightweight shear leg hoist made from chain link fence
rails that rests on the edges of a seat and is controlled by the trailer
winch. Get the HF 1/4 ton hoist to lift the motor:

and jack stands tall enough to support the transom when you back the vehicle
up to it to lift the motor out.

So far my 1/4 ton hoist has worked well. The only problem has been getting
the automatic brake to release after overloading it.
