How to lift a 91 mercury

[Duckco]

As stated above I'm trying to go about the best way of doing this. I see they have a lifting eye you can buy that connects to the fly wheel but is there another way to lift it. I'm sorry its a 1991 black max 150. All my omc have little lifting ears that work great.

That's the best way

Ok will do. I've never done it like that but I'm looking to learn. I guess you pop the fly wheel nut off Then screw the threaded eye in? I was reading the newer mercury have a rubber cap that pops off then screw the threaded eye in.

I know this elementary for most of y'all hahaha. I just bought this motor and it is mint both inside and out I don't wanna jack it up trying to rig it.

Well, that will make it interesting.

Please leave the nut on

Please leave the nut on

The lifting ring tools are hollow in the center to allow it to go over the nut. If you take the nut off, you will lift only the flywheel, not the entire motor. So, yes, please leave the nut on. This ebay seller has a nice tool. Threads are cut well. Not sure it will fit your year, but it's 1.5 inch x 16tpi and fit my 2002 200 perfectly. There are other sellers with crappy threads.

Find one thats also a flywheel puller, ya never know Hunt around on ebay, got mine cheap.

That's what the jsre one looks like. Works fine and you can remove the flywheel with it. Mike.

Hell I was fixing to remove the flywheel inadvertently hahaha. Left the nut on got the motor picked up and mounted. A local outboard supply shop had some kits. Picked one up for 23 and taxes. Thanks for y'alls help knowledge is power.

You cant hardly get the flywheel off without a puller when you want to but lift one without a nut and I'm sure it would slip right off ! Good luck.

Come over to the Amite river with me , Forbes , coupe and a few others. Mike.
