LostPiker Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 First part of transom replacement will be to take the engine off. Its a 1998 Yamaha 60hp 2 stroke, will it have lifting points I can use or is it just a case of putting a strap around it and adjusting it if it feels unbalanced? Can I transport it on its side? might as well drop it off for the service while its off. I have a car engine stand I think I can bolt some wood to for storing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I don't know your engine but it will either have plate steel lifting eyes under the cowling (my 80hp Suzuki does), or it will take eye bolts that are screwed into the flywheel, similar to the one in the link below. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Outboard-Mercury-Mariner-Force-Yamaha-Lifting-Ring-Eye-Tool-USA-MADE-/281166514851 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got down to the boat today. There is a lifting eye on the top of the engine. Got it stripped off ready to lift when I've made the stand to put it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nida is great for deck areas, but not suitable for transom repair. Geoff. Edited April 22, 2021 by Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been chatting to the european distributors for coosa board for transoms, doubt it'll come in cheap enough tho. Will be needing to put my order in very soon 👍 Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
