I have a 2020 115 Evinrude ETEC. Unlike all of the other older outboards I have owned it does not have a bolted on lifting hook. Instead, it uses a "lifting eye" that slides over the center flywheel shaft and has a threaded bolt with a top plate and a hook that attaches to the center thread. The ID is stepped for the two different diameters but the bolt only extends maybe 1/4" past where the larger diameter step is.
The lifting eye that I bought should fit, but only threads on 2 full turns of the allen bolt.
Surely this threaded bolt should go in a lot more??
I cannot find a single diagram/ thread length insertion guide or video on the web of anyone ever using one. It looks like everything is good except the bolt which should be an inch or so longer??
Can someone please help who actually knows and has used one??
Not looking for "well that doesn't sound deep enough" comments. No offense.
