My question is are the lift rings that are bolted onto the motor strong enough to support the motor, outdrive....everything? Or should I get a couple of friends to help me lift it up and off?
Thanks everyone. |
Ditto, rings should be fine. But I have a question, why in the world would you want to take the motor off? Huntin' season is just gettin' cranked up. I guess everyone doesn't use their rig for duck huntin'. Although, you might want an extra hand there to keep the motor from swinging around while you move the hoist. That is if you're anything like me.......A bull in a china closet.
