Thank you for all of the detailed advice for repairing the holes left by the old motor mount. It’s great to have a communitity so willing to share their knowledge and experience.
Cheers,

For anyone else facing a similar challenge, I picked up a 4 way block and tackle from Amazon (link) and it made the task of both launching and retrieving the boat & trailer manageable by just myself and a helper (wife/teenaged son/etc). The key for this to work was having a good anchor point at the top of the ramp.

I had a feeling it was doable but there’s nothing like real world experience to confirm hunches. Good idea to use a comealong – I’ll investigate that idea or maybe choose another boat launch.
