Re: What is the weight of a 140 Mercruiser Engine??

Complete engine, I need to build a wood scafold type structure to pull a a 140 mercruiser out of 1972 Starcraft Islander. The top of the stern on the Islander is almost 6 feet off the ground, when its sitting on the trailer. I'm hoping a couple 2x6's will be enough for the beam I put the hoist on to pull the motor. PO let it sit for 10 years the engine most likely has rust in the cyclinders, its froze up. Appears to have been drained, the drains were open on it. But who knows, for $150 I'm not complaining,...yet. I'm going to see if I can free it up with seafoam, mystry oil, or ATF I also head works. Nothing to loose, but my time. Never had an I/O before.

Thanks for the reply
