I had one of those 5 HP Merc motors with integral tank as a kicker on a 19 foot sylvan. Used it on HP restricted lakes. Wasn’t fast but moved me around.
To add if it hasn’t been said. Sometimes the written word on the internet doesn’t transfer well. What might be interpreted by the reader as harsh or belittling might not be the posters intent at all. Have seen it many times. Sometimes a simple private message can clear things up.
If that is stuck on that stand You could center punch and drill and use an easy out. Or if your not in love with that 2x4 you could just split or chisel at it a little bit till the motor comes off then you can just put a big vice grip on the round foot and spin it out
You’re throwing good money after bad. For the same money or a few dollars more you can buy a brand new winch. Lots of new options up to 6000lb for under 200$

Back in the day I had a job that put me on a John Deer pulling a 10 foot woods deck mowing hundreds of acres. Those killdeer with the nest right on the ground were something. They would find tiny bare patches and nest right there. When you got near them the adults would run dragging a wing...
LiFeP04 batteries are relatively safe, much safer than other lithium batteries with different chemical make ups.
As far as a bike. Lots of guys are using them for hunting, lots of reviews on hunting web sites.
