Don't forget to snap some photos while you work on that boat project, then share them here.

MD7A hoisting locations

Post by S/V Ethan Grey »

From what I can tell there is one lifting eye on the MD7A. However the manual talks about a lifting eye on the reverse gear, “use the lifting eyes mounted on the engine/reverse gear when lifting the drive unit” (page 4 of the service manual). Can anyone tell me where this is? Are there any lifting eyes other than the obvious one just in front of the injectors? As far as I can tell, there is only one lifting eye.

I’m getting ready to pull my MD7A using the gantry method used by S/V Tiara: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk6uejgXHSI
