Outboard motor with recovery belt
As soon as the outboard motor for the dinghy produces more than the usual two to three hp on the propeller, transporting it over the stern down into the dinghy becomes a feat of strength.
In addition, the larger the engine, the more difficult it becomes to handle. Although the accessories trade offers special carrying straps for this purpose, a halter-like line attached to the engine is also sufficient. It is even easier if you attach the snap hooks of the lifebelt to the front and rear of the motor.
