Overton's has an electrical motor mount that lifts motor up (not tilt) at the
touch of a button.

At the Annapolis Sailboat show this fall I saw a trailerable sailboat
(Sovreign?) with a motor mount that slid vertically in tracks via a block
system. This would be a lot easier than the cantilevered lifting motor
mount now on my P19. Does anyone know where I can get some more information
about this kind of mount?
