I need to take the outboard off my boat its an 84 115, and unlike my older 80 115 there is no lifting eye on it, when I put this motor on I just tied up a harness out of rope and it was a pain to do. Is there a better way? I don't see any good spots on the engine to attach a chain.

Thanks

Put a harmonic balancer puller on the flywheel as though you were going to pull the flywheel and loop rope or chain under it to lift.

we use the harmonic balancer all the time for lifting, even the 300 HP.

Okay, I got it off, and I didn't even need a cherry picker or anything. Just lifted it off my self! ha ha ha. Kidding. I picked up a stand today that the engine sits on the bottom, so I strapped it to the engine and just used the tongue jack to lift the bow all the way up and the motor just sat on the stand and came off the boat!!
