Sorry that this isn't a mechanical problem per se, but you guys seem to have the rigth answer for everything. I have to remove my 1978 Merc 900 inline 6 briefly to take the weight off of the transom for a structural repair. The thing looks cumbersome as heck. I do have access to a hoist, but I'll have to do it myself with no help. Any advice? Where best to wrap the straps, and is there any place I should not lift from? It looks like the two bolts on top, and two others on a bracket through the transom below. Is that all there is? What's with that short canvas strap underneath that's looped around the motor bracket? Thanks very much.
