Re: Just need some advice from the veterans

My engine had lifting eyes already installed. It was fairly easy to do once I figured out how to lift the engine high enough. I used a tree.

disconnect the fuel line, disconnect the electrical, throttle cable, power steering (if you've got it), unbolt the clamping ring behind the upper gear box that secures the flywheel cover to the transom shield, pull the lag bolts from the motor mounts so that the motor will slide forward, making removal easier.

Having done it in the past, I could have my engine out in 30 min.

Good Luck!!!
