Just put a tag line on the motor. Have a buddy stand on the main dock and man the tag line. Use the halyard to lift it up to the level of the main dock. Buddy pulls it over the main dock and you lower it.
If there's a cleat on the main dock on the far side, wrap the tag line around it for better control. Dennis C.
