eh i need a lifting ring for a 2000 fitch 2000, by tomorrow anybody have one between muskoka and markham?

May not help you today, but what size are they?
I do make the Merc lifting rings and would like to add these to the list.

Should have stuck with a Yamaha - they have their own built in lift ring

who said i wasn't sticking with yamaha????????

i'm not 100% but i thin its a ring on a plate that bolts to the flywheel over the nut.. ill post some pics of the fly wheel to give you an idea of what i need,,,,, i used man power to lift it,,,, if you notice in another thread,,, the stand next to the motor in my box lol

Backyard method

3 bolts, 3 pieces of chain and another bolt should do the trick.

I Think they are 5/16 fine thread to fit the flywheel

Bolt the chain to to each location. Join them together with another bolt. Then hook on with your block and tackle, or what ever your going to lift with

I may be a nervous nelly but those are the bolt holes to pull the flywheel and not lift the motor. I wouldn't want to lift the motor by the flywheel....

I am not familiar with OMCs but isn't there another spot to thread in a monster eye bolt to lift the motor?

It's strong enough...don't worry. The factory merc lifting ring screws into the flywheel and has for years...even the Verado has one that bolts on and that weighs more than my boat!

the omc lifting ring bolts into those 3 holes,,,so a chain would work,, but a plate with some holes and a ring or chain welded to it would be closer to factory
