Installing Motor - Force 70

Hey all. Whats the easiest way to lift this motor with a cherry picker? Where are good lift points?

Thanks alot.

I use a small chain that I tie off on opposite sides.
Not sure you can do this? top of the flywheel might be some holes you can use as a lift point.
I use an L shaped bracket secured to the holes.

Mercury sells a lift ring that threads on the flywheel/crank bolt.
Ask before you buy??

3/4 national fine thread. Get yourself a nut and weld an eye on top of it. I've made several for friends. It will cost about 8 to 10 dollars in materials. The ones that I've seen on eBay go for 40-60 dollars

If you have the 3 holes on top?
1/4-20
or 5/16- 16(?)
