To get the engine hoist in far enough, the port trailer tire and fender needed to be removed. We set the spring plate on 2 stacked 4”x4” pieces of oak which lowered this side of the boat for a little more clearance.
We attached the safety chains to the lifting eyes and adjusted the lengths a bit to lift the engine straight up. A double-check that all items are disconnected, and the Gray 4-750 is ready to lift out.
A perfect fit on the cradle and the engine is ready for storage.
A few more items to remove and the boat will be ready to flip over.
