A portable, inflatable, waterproof tool to lift installed marine outdrives from incompatible immersion when not in operation. The deflated tool designed and constructed to be compatible with the craft's hull shape and positioned with the backing fabric against the hull is slipped under the craft's hull cross section adjacent to the outdrive and secured by two D-Rings that provide purchase capability. Inflation is provided by a pressurization device. Inflation is applied until the desired lift is achieved. Deflation is achieved by venting the fill valve and pulling the deflated tool to the desired side of the craft. The deflated tool is stored in the storage container.
