FIBERGLASS a "BIG HOLE" --1973 MFG Super Caprice

Re: FIBERGLASS a "BIG HOLE" --1973 MFG Super Caprice

1972 was the last year for electric shift.

This time of year, there's probably lots of people looking for motors. If the Evinrude runs, I'd clean it up, take lots of pictures of it and a video of it running and list it on CL for $800. It's worth more in cash than it is to you in parts since little other than powerhead parts are going to swap to your Johnson.

When I swap motors, I use the lifting eye on the top of the motors and a cheap-o come along from Harbor Freight to pull them off and hang them.

I see some outboards requred a special bolt ring lifting eye to be screwed into the top...

On therse 1970's evenrude/johnsons it appears the lifting eye is bulit in on top like just a steel bracket there bolted to top of engine....does that sound correct? or do I need to bye a lifting eye....didn't see anywhere to screw it in

On both the motors I've had, the lifting ring was built in. Bad picture but can you kinda see it here on my outboard hanging? http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/ezmobee/New Boat/DSCF2257.jpg Do yours not have that?
