    How to reove a BIG outboard ?

    I used an engine hoist along with the Mercury lift ring and it worked great.There is an auto parts store down here in Florida that has a 2 ton engine hoist(like the one I borrowed) for $119.00 that would work perfect.Don,t know if you have Pep Boys or not where you live.You can just leave the...
