I don't know. I've never used that motor, and don't know how powerful it is. I was just saying that since you had an idea of the weight, and apparently the motor must have weight specs, that the specs are probably based on a dish that would mount closer to the rotation axis. Ie it can move more weight if it's centered or counter-balanced, but if you have to mount the weight away for the axis, it might not perform to specs. But it may be more powerful than I suspect.
I'm surprised that it is as light as you say. The Fortec metal dish of that size is listed as 55 lbs, and I always thought that fiberglass dishes were heavier than metal, but I guess it depends on what they have inside the fiberglass.
Anyway, don't give up on the basis of what I said, I mainly meant the post to recommend that if you do try it, try to orient it as close to the motor axis as possible.
