Here is a link to the DIY lift ring I built and used on my 115 Pro XS. Simple and efficient.
http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread....t=lifting+ring
As far as the lifting I used the tongue jack on the boat trailer and my LIttle Giant ladder as an A-Frame.
1. Lower the tongue all the way thus raising engine/transom to their highest point.
2. Position A-Frame and attach chain to the lift ring.
3. Raise tongue jack/lowering the engine/transom until the full weight of the engine is suspended from the A-frame.
There is enough room to install the JackPlate between the suspended engine and the transom.
