capacity for the engine weight.
An Engine Lift Fixture, P/N 357667, is
REQUIRED to safely lift the engine. Do
NOT substitute any other lifting device.
To avoid personal injury or damage to
engine, boat or property, always install
the fixture completely into the flywheel.

The outboard's warranty will not cover prod-
uct damage or failure that results from incor-
rect outboard installation.
