Having just posted the note above, I thought I'd take a look at the TSC device I saw the other day. It appears it's the same idetical thing Northern is selling, and the price looks a bit better. The Northern unit, however, seems to come with a free engine leveling device, and that would be a nice deal.

I would think that if you grab the motor block snugly with as little excess chain as possible, this device would make easy work of pulling out a marine motor. Again, not having used one in a marine application, I'll defer to anyone who has. Anyone?
