Removing the Engine

The engine was removed on Mother’s Day.


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.
