Lifting a 1985 Johnson GT 150
I wanted opinions on the best method of lifting my 1985 Johnson GT 150 off of the boat. I have a 1 ton cherry picker (engine hoist) and a flywheel puller. I saw the sticky of the homemade lifting ring. Does anybody have any experience with this method? Trying to avoid spending over $50 to do this. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

You can trust Championman and the other posters in that thread. The engine is less than 25% of the lift capacity of you cherry picker.

Great. Thanks. That post was just an older post and I wanted to be sure it was still the go to method. It was certainly not questioning anyone posted.

I put the 250 on my rig with a homemade one like Champman's....

The lift ring works great also on pulling the rear bearing carrier on the lower unit. Just need two sticks of all thread, 4 nuts to make up jam nuts and the washers from the lift ring.
