Johnson 200 hp - lifting bracket thread size?

[metriccrescentwrench]

I need to fabricate a lifting bracket for a 1990 Johnson 200 hp outboard. Anybody know what the thread size is for the three bolts which will go in the flywheel (I tried all the bolts I have in my junk drawer and none of them fit)?

I could be wrong, but if I remember right, seem like they are 1/4 x 20

No, they are 5/16 x 24 pitch.

BTW, use Gr8 bolts to minimize the risk to the tapped holes.

Thanks. When I couldn't find a match I was starting to wonder if they were metric.
