I want to mount a 2002 johnson j70pl4sn that weighs about 350. I have an overhead hoist. Where do I hook onto the motor to hoist it? There is lift eye. Is that enough to support the weight or do I need a special lifting attachment?
I have an earlier (90s) version 70 3cyl omc and there is a large lifting eye mounted to the block behind the flywheel. I've hoisted the motor using the eye several times and had no problems. Same weight as yours.
Howdy, RMyer.<br /><br />The lifting eye is strong enough and in the right location. Just be sure that your hoist is strong enough.<br /><br />Good luck.
