Time to pull the motor Got any tips?

Three of us removed my 150 johnson without any hoist. I just lowered the motor as low as it could go then cranked up the trailer until the motor hit the ground. Unbolted her and we moved it out of he way.

Way to go Still. I bet at least one in your trio was doing some gruntin' when it came time to muscle it up on to the stand.

Yea right, we dragged it over to a tree about 5 feet away and leaned it up against the tree and tied it off.

Have you seen the motor-stands that hold the motor by the cavitation plate...I was thinking you could make one and do the jack-stand thing you mentioned above should work pretty good...no lifting at all...of course, secure the motor so it won't tip over, but sounds good to me...

Here's a few pics of the stand. Its a bit much but it will allow me to replace some parts at my leisure over the winter and of course roll it out of the way when I need the space. As you can see space is limited in the garage.
