Lifting the Powerhead
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, make sure the lifting
capacity of the hoist is at least twice the
weight of the outboard.
DO NOT allow the lift hook or chain from the
hoist to come in contact with any part of the
engine during lifting.
Use Engine Lifting Fixture, P/N 357667, to lift the
powerhead from the adapter. Use the centerline
lifting eye to lift the complete engine. Use the off-
set lifting eye to remove and install the power-
head, or to support the engine and remove and
install the stern and swivel bracket assembly.
IMPORTANT:
Carefully thread the lifting fixture
into the threads of the flywheel at least 6 complete
turns. Do NOT cross-thread the threads of the lift-
ing fixture into the threads of the flywheel.
Install the lifting fixture completely into the fly-
wheel. If needed, turn the flywheel until the lifting
rings of the fixture are aligned front to back as
shown.
Make sure the off-set lifting eye is to the REAR of
the engine. Fasten appropriate chain hook to the
off-set lifting eye.
