Where can I get the engine lift attachment

[Drybo]

Been trying to lift my '91 115 off the transom to adjust motor height up and down. Where can I get the screw in attacment that goes in top of motor? can't afford jack plate, can't find this part at merc parts express, its just a little metal screw with loop to attach a hoist. If any newbies are thinking of lifting motors with straps, don't do it. I have almost stripped bolts out of the motor mount.

I had a similar problem, I needed a merc flywheel puller and couldn't find one anywhere. I ended up getting one from ebay, but while i was on there the same seller was selling a lifting eye. The seller's products are the real deal and are still in the original wrapping, untouched.<br /><br />Good luck-<br />andy

If you can find a Mercury parts dealer near you they will have it! It's called a "lifting eye" just give them the year and model motor you have so they sell you the correct one...

I had one welded up because I couldn't find a lifting eye. Cost me $30. Well worth it.<br /><br />fp

Does someone know if this lifting eye will work with a 250 hp EFI? I have a motor laying on a pallet right now and am going to need to place it on something so i can work on it. Thanks

Re: Where can I get the engine lift attachment

If you have a friendly machine shop nearby, they can make you one pretty quickly.<br /><br />I had one made similar to this image, but in stainless. I'd recommend something in hardened steel, as I stripped the 1/2" course threads on mine trying to pull the flywheel off. Mine was 3" long. I think 2-1/8" is more appropriate.<br /><br /> <br /><br />I've never seen the Mercury lifting eye or puller in person, maybe they are similar.<br /><br />Not sure if all motors have the same size tapped hole in the flywheel.<br /><br />Good luck !

I found several on Ebay, all around $25, brand new.

Re: Where can I get the engine lift attachment

Here are a few pics of a lifting eye that I modified to also work as a flywheel puller.<br /><br />I basically drilled out the center hole and then cut threads in it to accept a bolt that is used as the "puller" so to speak for the removal. I had to grind/taper down the end of the bolt to fit into the top depression of the drive shaft which I hadn't done yet as seen in the pics. I couldn't find a bolt long enough that had threads in it on the entire shaft so I also had to lathe cut the shaft down above the threads so it would travel all the way through the hole.<br /><br />
