Lifting a V6 Looper engine

[Melton Jason]

Fred, I got another engine for my boat from a fellowr BBC'r to use until I rebuild mine. It is currently sitting on a pallet in my garage, I have a engine hoist (cherry picker style), What is the best way to lift the engine? I assume by the top crankshaft where this is 3 bolt holes. but wanted to check with you before doing it

That would be the correct way. A lot of pumping but the correct way.

Thanks Fred!!

Fred,

Got the engine lifted and on a stand, (Thanks for the info ) however it has part of the tag missing, Supposedly its a 89 Johnson GT200 20inch shaft.

This is what I have of the model and serial number

J200S and possibly a T then its scratched off.
Serial number is G02338 then its scratched off

Note: (found full serial number on freeze plug 02338357)

Any way to tell the full model number from just that?

Looks like Evinrude website shows possible

E200CXCEA 1989
E200STLCEB 1989 --------I assume its this model
E200TXCEA 1989
TE200TXCEA 1989
