Consider a temporary bracket[1] of some description that can fit onto

That is a very good idea. I seldom have a problem going up the swim
ladder with the Honda 2HP (28 lb) in one hand, but that would make it
easier. I could lift the engine to the toerail from a sitting position
in the dinghy.

I haven't found the position restrictions on the four stroke a
problem. The allowed positions are the obvious ones and a short trip
to other positions doesn't seem to be a problem.
