Volvo SX Cobra Lifting Eye

[jclarke2899]

Anyone know what size lifting eye this outdrive takes? Trying to do yearly maintenance on this thing and my manual says 112x13 thread, and I have no idea what that means. The metric lifting eye bolts I have seen in the store are not listed this way, they say M8, M10, etc. It could be a misprint in the manual when digitized, as I know some numbers were messed up in the process.
Thanks!

It's supposed to be 1/2-13

I used a 1/2" eye of about 12 cm, but you should be able to get by with a shorter one. I think that the eye only went in an inch or so.
Stay away from metric bolts! The closest fitting one is 12mm diameter which might give you trouble since 1/2" is 12.7mm.
