Engine lift point - Lifting Eye question

[jakwi]

I have a Mercruiser 357 Alpha 4v Mercury repower.

It has an existing bracket in the back as a lift point, but doesn't have one in the front.

Is this the part I need or is there an existing lift point that I'm somehow not seeing? or is there a better option? I plan to use an engine hoist leveler to pick it up.

Thanks for the help

Yes, that will work

I like using two 1 inch wide lifting straps. Place the straps length wise under the exhaust manifolds and they come together above the intake

Thats a really interesting idea, Thanks!

That's a great idea I'm normally fighting bolts and chains
