Lifting engine question

[stingraymax]

I will need to hoist my 90Hp Johnson.<br />What is the best way to lift one of these ?(I looked around on the forum and they said around the flywheel but with me there is a complete cover over)<br />I have an engine lift and was looking around where I can hook something on and on the 2 cilinder walls on top there seem to be holes where you can put a strap thru. Is this safe to hoist the engine at these points ?<br /><br />Thanks

Re: Lifting engine question

If you have a newer Johnson there are 2 cast in eyes on the block.One just above the starboard head and the other just above the port carbs.Use a chain to latch the 2 and lift.
