Correct lifting eye?

[DocBob]

Is this the correct size/part for lifting my 150hp Mariner (Model# 7150725)? I think they are all the same size (40hp and larger Merc & Mariners).

I can't tell you about the 150hp engine, but I bought a ring/puller from the same vendor last fall and used it on my 1980 90hp I6 and it worked like a charm. The sale went really well although I felt the S&H was a bit high. But that's the way ebay is these days.

Thanks "Stink". I'm pretty sure they're all the same...Could anyone verify this though? Do all the "larger" Merc/Mariners take the 1 1/2" - 16 thread Lifting eye???

And yes, a lot of people on ebay like to pad their profit with extra shipping. This isn't as bad as many I've seen, and at least the price is reasonable to strart.

We only have one size lifting eye for most of the mercs. Some do have an eye built on and some we use a chain for. But as far as a single point lifting eye that screws into the center of the flywheel... same same.
