I DO NOT know about Johnsons, even though I have one bolted to the back of my boat, but on my Mercury they use a lifting eyebolt. You unscrew the nut holding the flywheel onto the crankshaft, and you screw the eyebolt onto the crankshaft in that location.. then you attach your lifting device to that eyebolt. Maybe the Johnson's are like that? Just a thought. I'm sure that Spare or Ferm will fill us in on the way it's done when they come online. (And I Sooooooo understand the desire to drop the thing.... preferably off the side of a 1000ft cliff)

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
