2004 125hp,
I have to pull the motor off my boat, I am wondering for a lifting ring are the cheap ebay lifting rings alright to use or should I spend the money get a one quality OEM / bob's machine shop lifting ring.
Second, anybody put a these motors on a engine stand before? I been looking the harbor fright 2000lb engine stand with the 2 legs, I seen a few people put yahamas on them but I haven't seen any mercury motors on them.

Part# 904551 is the correct lifting eye- and it's not that expensive.
Not seen any Harbor-Banger stand really suitable- but you can fashion one from traditional lumber if you spend a few minutes doing a google-search, you're likely to find all the dimensions and specifications. 2x6 minimum recommended.

Not that I've seen... but I'm sure that someplace, somewhere, someone does.

For the cost it isn't worth the hanger is like $25 to $40 bucks.Originally Posted by potomacbassin
Sorry I didn't read this carefully. I was thinking about the engine jack to lift the motor..... You guys are just talking about a stand. But on that note, can you rent an engine jack?

Yup you can rent an engine hoist, but cheaper in the long run to by one for $100. If you watch the markets and ads.
The cheap $9 rings work fine....add a proper bolt and you have flywheel puller also...As for the of stand...you will have to Fab a bracket to mount the engine
I built a stand from 2x4s and plywood...add casters and portable.... probably build it for under $30.

Stand will work. Bolt a 2x12 to it then hang motor. Pm me a number and will send you a picture of mine when I get home.
Been using an ebay hoist ring/flywheel puller for years.
Bolt the motor to an engine stand using the brackets that come with the stand. Just like putting a car motor on it, you need to adjust the brackets to fit the transom bracket. Be careful moving it around, it will be top heavy.
