Thanks for the offer to help DKerns! I was just out there yesterday (they are still cleaning things up from the floods) but I didn't have access to the boat at the time to check on it. I have to get it winterzied first so hopefully the batteries will still be good, but I think I have that swing plate so it can be lifted if needed.
