You can do the move of the motor all on your own. All you need is your trailer, the tie downs, a few blocks and a tongue jack.
In a nutshell, all you do is lower you jack all the way down, then block the motor (motor level to the ground). Take out the top bolts and loosen the lower bolts holding the motor in place.
THen, start raising the tongue jack...this will lower the rear of the boat. It may take a little to get the motor to let go due to the silicone seal, but rock it a little and it will come loose.
Raise the motor to the desired hole, re-silicone and reinstall the top bolts. tighten and you are all set.
First time is always the toughest, but after that it will seem easy.
