I usually take flywheel nut off and either drill a 2 inch dit of angle iron and bolt that to the end of the crankshaft with a lifting hole in the other side of the angle or if I have another nut weld a hoop of 1/4 rod to it to make an eye to lift on

I used a 3/8" plastic coated cable with eyes as a double rap/strap to lift my 35 HP Chrysler (attached). That gave it good balance and easy movement. Good Luck! jow

Thanks Wick, thats exactly what I needed. Something temporary, loading motor up to sell. I was thinking the same thing.

I use 2/ 1/4-20 eye bolts
On the flywheel should be 3 bolt holes.I clean them and use the eye bolts..

It really depends on what year the motor is.

The newer, later 90's model have a threaded inside edge on the crankshaft.
It accepts a threaded lifting eye.

LIFTING EYE Mercury part number 91-904551



These here on ebay work really well.
They can be used as a lifting eye AND a flywheel puller.
