Re: 65hp merc removel, help?
Hello fshnne1, I have a 65hp merc, a 1966 4cyl. Two of us were able to lift it off the transom of one boat, put it on a mobile engine stand, and lift it onto another boat. It's been a few years, but I don't remember it being too heavy. Just awkward. You don't want to carry it any distance at all, be sure to have the engine stand located properly before you start. Since I was putting it on another boat right away, I improvised an engine stand using a two wheel hand truck. For more long term storage, I've seen some great plans for homemade engine stands here in the forum over the years. I have a 50hp hanging on one of them right now! Hope this helps!
