[QUOTE="Lennyg3, post: 243163, member: 7217"] Like the title says. Has anyone ever done their own install/rigging/mounting on a large outboard? (125hp+) I am considering installing my 225/160 optimax myself. I am aware that there is a special hook that threads into the motor on top below the flywheel cover. I have access to a garage with a overhead crane. I guess I'm not too worried about the physical mounting of the engine, but more of the setup/rigging. How hard is it, and are there tips or tricks I should know about. I will also be installing a hot foot throttle for this. What do you do with the tilt/trim switch for a hot foot? sorry for all the questions, but thank you in advance to anyone who can help. [/QUOTE]
