Hey guys. I have a mid 90's clam shell Mercury 3cyl 70 hp engine. I am planning to switch it to another boat and can not find a lift point on it. Can you give me some help please? Thanks.

Mercury uses a "Lifting Eye" that screws into the center of the flywheel. Check your PMs.

If you want to try to make a lifting eye, the threads inside the center of the flywheel are 1 1/2"-16.
