Hi, Anyone have experience on Moorings' 514PC? I've been told that the hydraulic dinghy lift "usually doesn't work". If that's the case, can it easily be raised and lowered manually by winch?

I saw one report that it was a very significant problem and caused charterers to have to tow the dinghy in the water behind the boat. I have a hard time believing that - could easily swamp the dinghy and one would need to remove the outboard before moving.

On a separate note, if anyone has owner's time usable on the 514, please PM me.
