Another cheapskate method for supporting or dropping the motor.  You can
take a nice strong 4"x4" board and place it across the open engine hatch
pointing front-to-back with the end hanging out the open hatch.  You start
with the 4x4 raised up on a stacks of ca 1" spacer boards at each edge of
the engine hatch.  Chain the 4x4 to the engine lifting points good and
tight.  Then when the engine mount is unbolted you can let the motor down
one step at a time by levering up a bit on the 4x4 and sliding out one or
two at a time of the spacer boards it's propped up on.  Then can replace
both mounts in one fell swoop.  Would need to stop partway and lengthen the
chain if you were wanting to drop the motor all the way out.
