Pulling Evinrude 200 H.P. Motor

[PAMedley]

I am a senior citzen that recently took up older outboard engines as a hobby. I built a nice shop and have sufficent tools and equipment. I would like to know if I remove the flywheel nut, is there a tool I can purchase to screw on where the flywheel nut was, which will allow me to pull a 1976 200 h.p Evinrude with a hydraulic car engine hoist? I would appreciate any and all information. Thank you!

This is the 2nd post on the same subject. That motor should have come with a lift eye right to the rear of the flywheel. I would check with your local boat dealer and get one to install. Easy add-on.

Thanks for your reply. I'm aware that this is where the "lift eye" is suppose to be, but it isn't! Also, I did do a search and I'm sorry nothing was posted that I could find. If it isn't too much trouble, let me know the date of the the previous post. Thanks again!

This is the post. I think it is from today. I would still call your local dealer.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=027801

Thanks again,AJP for all your time looking all this up for me. I've ordered a "loop eye" which our local dealer said was the proper and safe way to lift the engine.
