Can't come up with the right search words. '85 Force 125. Need to lift it. Saw an eyebolt that screws on the flywheel somewhere on iboats. Directions please/thanks

Re: Flywheel eyebolt

Yeah, you can buy one, but you can also make a plate about 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick with three holes to match the three holes in the top of the flywheel. Three 1/4 X 20 bolts screw in.

Drill a hole in the center and screw in an eyebolt about 1/2 inch shank size you buy at Home-Depot.

Just as good, just as safe, and a lot cheaper.

Thanks, I think. $4 at home depot and it's hanging. Worked like a charm. Now I can see some real ugly that was out of sight/ out of mind. Some degreasing and it's off to RRitt. Thanks again
