Outboard weight.

Hi folks.
Is an 18 kg/40 lbs weight outboard comfortable to lift on and off an inflatable boat regularly. ??

Depends. Are you reasonably fit, & can comfortably move a 50lb bag of pool salt around?
Is the dinghy on hard ground, or do you have to hump the motor into a floating boat,then to the transom?

Yes I am reasonably fit. I tried an 18k outboard today for weight. and I found it no problem.
