Thanx Mike newbie boat owner

I did look kicker bracket and I already have a decent kicker bracket but it sucks, what a poor design, I wanted to be able to lift my 25 horse out of the water and lower it also with out suffering serious injury, does nt anyone make a decent setup that can raise lower a engine right out and back down electrically? Seems theres a lot of poorly made stuff out there for sure CHINESE perhaps????? Thanx Mike (just getting into lake boating fishing)
