Hello Jason welcome!   I lift my bigger motors with a chain fall.  I use two nylon straps.  You will have figure out the length you need.  They are available on eBay.  A strong rope would probably work also.  I put the boat trailer on car dollies so I can move it into position to install the motor.  My chain fall does not move so I need to get the boat out of the way once the motor is lifted off.  Ya gotta be careful!  Keep the tilt lock in the down position.  Safety first.  I will try to send a picture.
