Anybody know how to lift the motor off the transom?
The book is showing an eye bolt welded to a nut. This nut screws onto the fly wheel shaft and the power head is lifted up..Can I use the same setup to lift the motor off the transom? |

I forgot to mention I see them on ebay at around $35 or thereabouts.If you get one that takes a threaded bolt down the center it doubles as the flywheel popper |

Do you know what thread size it is?
What do you mean threaded down the center? Like a gear puller? |

I have a ,84 model 115 merc.And it has 11/2"diameter 16 threads per inch.& yes it works like a gear puller if you use a bolt to pop off the fly wheel. |

Thanks again for the info, but I found out yesterday the threads are m16 x 1.5.
Thought it was 5/8 x 18 but the bolt would not thread all the way thru, it went about 3 turns and stopped. |
