Description:
Lifting Eye for Johnson/Evinrude 60-Degree Outboards (Including Ficht and E-TEC Models)
The Lifting Eye is a durable, specialized tool engineered for the safe vertical lifting and removal of the powerhead from Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines. It features a threaded shaft that screws directly into the top of the crankshaft, providing a secure attachment point for hoisting equipment such as engine lifts or chains. This design ensures balanced and stable lifting, minimizing the risk of damage during maintenance, repairs, or engine installation/removal.
Key Features:
• Installation: Screws securely into the crankshaft's top end for straightforward attachment. No additional tools are required beyond basic hoisting gear.
• Purpose: Ideal for powerhead removal, engine servicing, or transportation, supporting safe handling of heavy outboard components.
• Material and Build: Often features a pivoting eye ring for flexible chain or hook connections, with a robust cylindrical body to withstand engine weights.
Compatibility:
This lifting eye is designed specifically for Johnson and Evinrude 60-degree V-block outboard engines, including those with Ficht (Fuel Injected Cylinder Head Technology) and E-TEC (direct fuel injection) systems. It fits a range of models, primarily V4 and V6 configurations, with common applications including:
• Horsepower Ratings: 90 HP, 115 HP (4-cylinder), 150 HP, and 175 HP (6-cylinder).
• Model Years: Generally compatible with engines from 1991 to 2020, though exact fitment should be verified by OEM part number.
• Engine Types: Carbureted, Ficht, and E-TEC variants in 60-degree layouts (referring to the V-angle of the cylinders).
Note: Compatibility may extend to additional models beyond those listed. Always cross-reference the OEM part number for your specific engine to ensure proper fitment, as variations in crankshaft threading (e.g., 3.600 bore) can affect suitability.
