I got this merc I want to lift out of my truck and onto a stand . I don't see a hook like on a Johnson. whats the best place to hoist it from seems like the framing around the power head feels weak to carry the load

Thanks

Proper way to lift these engines is by a lifting eye that screws into the center of the flywheel. Your dealer should carry them or you can buy them on line.
