Lifting my Rude

[SiggiJo]

I need to hoist up my 1978 70HP Rude, but I don´t see any obvious attach points on the powerhead and I don´t want to ruin anything by strapping to the wrong bits. What do you guys do ??

Flat plate with holes drilled to match the three puller holes in the flywheel. Weld a lifting eye to the plate and you now lift at the centerline of the engine.

I'd make up a harness out of webbing (the kind that's used on a boat winch is good), wrap it under the motor at the top of the leg and tie it over the top, then fix my hoist to it.<br /><br />Easy to adjust as you begin to take the weight, and forgiving enough not to do any harm.
