Re: Stus-List Outboard engine removal

[Mark McMenamy via CnC-List]

It's a Suzuki 9.9.  The previous owner put it on.  It's already a heavy engine 
and its got power tilt and electric start.

With regards to the dock behind the boat, there's also a metal pipe running the 
length of the dock the engine will have to go over to get to the dock.  I could 
wrap a towel or something to protect the engine, but it seems to me that it 
might just be easier to walk the engine across  the transom to the finger pier 
which is lower and without any obstructions.

The engine is heavy and hasn't run well since I bought the boat in December.  
It's still under warranty so I'm going to take it to the shop.  It's a 2013.  
I'm also considering just selling the thing and replacing it with a Yamaha or 
Tohatsu.

Thanks a lot for the advice.

The 9.9 Tohatsu on Bell weighs around 80 pounds. The dock is about 18" to 2' 
above the transom. I put a safety line on the motor (in case I dropped it), sat 
down on the edge of the dock, and just pulled the motor up off the mount and 
slid it onto the dock. Not pretty but very doable.

123 pounds sounds pretty heavy, how large is the engine?

Just put a tag line on the motor.  Have a buddy stand on the main dock and man 
the tag line.  Use the halyard to lift it up to the level of the main dock.  
Buddy pulls it over the main dock and you lower it.
If there's a cleat on the main dock on the far side, wrap the tag line around 
it for better control.

rather use just the halyard since it won't require using a boom extension.

Hi Dennis,

I do back the boat and dock it stern first. However, the dock behind the boat 
is a good 3 feet higher than the transom and I think it'd be difficult to lift 
it that high.  There is a finger pier to starboard that is the same level as 
the boat.  I was thinking of raising the motor with the halyard and move it 
across the back of the boat and lay it down on the pier.  Or I could bring it 
around the port backstay, through the cockpit, and up onto the pier.  I'd much

Stus-List Outboard engine removal

[Mark McMenamy via CnC-List]

Hello everyone,

I'm getting ready to remove my outboard engine and take it to be worked on.  
I'd like to leave it in the slip to avoid pullout costs as well ask to avoid 
the risk of ruining my bottom paint should it need to be out more than 72 
hours.  Looking online I came up with a system where I'm planning on lashing a 
4x4 to the boom.  Out at the motor end I'm going to screw an eye bolt on top 
and attach the main halyard.  I'll also have the topping lift as a backup, but 
it will be attached on it's normal point on the boom.  The load will be borne 
by the halyard.  Underneath the 4x4 I will have a power puller lever type winch 
and run the line through an eye bolt and down to a harness on the engine.  My 
plan is to winch up the engine and swing to boom over to the dock and then 
lower.  Because of the split backstay I'll have to angle the boat in the slip.  
The motor is 123 lbs and the dock is 2.5-3 feet above the boat, so I'm worried 
about just trying to muscle it onto the dock.  Anybody ever done 
 this?  Does this sound crazy?

Initially I was thinking of just hooking the halyard directly to the engine and 
winching it up while a friend guided it out, but I was worried about the 
angular force applied against the motor in its bracket.

Thanks for your advice.
