You can pick the boat up by running the strap at the aft edge of the keel.
I’ve done it, but prefer the space between the prop and rudder.Bob
I’m not being terse. This is from my mobile.

Yard I’m thinking of using wants the aft strap under the keel instead of
aft of the prop. Afraid of damaging the shaft/strut assembly.
Seems a little shakey to me. Anyone have guidance?
Thanks,

Quent,
Remember the aft portion of the keel is hollow. I’m not sure it is the
best place for the strap. Remember Alan’s experience when he told the yard
where to put the strap and it did catch the shaft. My advise: Give them
the lifting diagram and if they don’t think they can lift the boat safely
go elsewhere.Regards,
John Stevenson

My best advice is to have the yard lift just behind the prop shaft. once they have the strap in place and they put just a wee bit of tension on it, go down and turn the prop shaft. this would ensure that the strap is not on the shaft or the prop. On my boat and I know they’re all different, the strap is either lined up with my winches or just aft of the winches.
My other best advice is to, as soon as they put the travel lift in place, look at your watch say “ok it’s time for coffee I’ll be back in an hour” then call your insurance company.
What I really found out was that if you tell them where to put the straps you now become responsible for any damage. if you let them place the straps and you stay out of it, then they are responsible.
Good luck
Alan

Why the heck would they want to lift there? I’ve been hauling for over 25 years now and nobody has ever even suggested lifting by the keel. Are they afraid it will fall off when they lift the boat? I wouldn’t lift there. The back of the keel is hollow and not intended to bear weight.
Someone sent out a diagram a few years back showing the suggested lift points for the boat. For me, it’s where the sheet winches are. Sorry, I can’t seen to find it.

If they listen to you when one tells them where to put the straps, it
suggests they really don’t know what they are doing with your boat. The
original owners’ manual shows precisely where to put the straps, and how
not to engage the prop shaft, etc.

When I bought my boat 3 years ago, the yard (Sandusky OH) of the previous owner was adamant that he wanted to lift boat from the aft of the keel, though it was close to the shaft, he thought it was o.k. He lifted it that way twice a year for 18 years with no damage to my knowledge. He would tie a rope between the fore and aft straps to keep them from sliding back on to the shaft. Now that I have the boat, I disagree with him, and I give the lift operator the boat diagram that shows the aft placement behind the prop and forward the rudder, on my boat it is just aft the mizzen mast. I have now marked it on the gunnel. Then, I go get that cup of coffee. I would hate to see what that strap would do to the max-prop if he missed.
On the last haulout the operator engaged me in a questionnaire where he would say, is this it?, do you like this position?, do you want me to go with it here?. I realized he was smartly transferring the responsibility to me. That’s why I will now go get the coffee. -
