How to hoist ( lift ) 2003 175 Evinrude ?

[yrag]

I just got a new engine ( 2003 Evinrude 175 ) and noticed that they did a very poor job of sealing the engine mount bolts.I need to reseal before putting in the water and the dealer I got the engine from is 2.5 hrs. away. I don't see any lifting points that are part of the block (chain/clevis hookup)nor is the old style lifting ring of any good I don't think.<br />Thankyou for any help!

The lifting eyes were cast on the block, one on each side of the block. You use a chain 18 inches long and snap hooks that will support 500 pounds. Verify this with 2003 manual.
