I need to repair my jackplate and need to pull the motor off but 150.00 for special adapter kit seems excessive

To install my SHO I used a gear puller I already had, bought a good cast eyebolt and three bolts(5/16" fine thread x 3.5" I think) to thread into the three empty flywheel holes...cost me about $10. and worked great...I've also seen guys use a steel plate and drill holes instead of the gear puller...just make sure the 3 bolts thread all the way into flywheel.

Thanx alot ima do some hunting for the proper thread bolts cuz I have the rest to make up one of those
Really not a lot of cash considering how much it will cost if you drop it. As a old retired mechanic, I watched a guy drop a Evinrude 200.
He broke the cowling skirt, broke the port side exhaust cover. Some times aluminum is not your friend.
That will work just fine. Save your money on the special tool.Originally Posted by McQuaig

I'm all for saving a few bucks$$$, and cobbing a gear puller into a engine lift tool is cool, and for sure will work, but if that casting breaks your engine is going straight to the floor. Considering your trying to lift a $15,000-$20,000 engine, it just makes sense to use the proper tool in this situation. But hey what do I know?..........And of course just my opinion.
When using the special tool you have to remove 3 flywheel bolts correct ? If so do you replace them with new or
just reuse and retorque/yield them ?
The lifting tool kit I make is designed to lift a Yamaha SHO motor without removing ANY flywheel bolts. It installs in seconds, Includes everything you need to lift your engine, and is a rock solid quality tool. I think I may have a blem lifting kit or two laying around. PM me if your interested.
