Bolt Circle Info Needed

[Reel Kahuna]

Need info on what the bolt circle is on a V8 lifting eyebolt assy is.

Well my friend ended up buying a 2012 Yamaha 350hp 4 stroke but didn't realize that it needed the V8 lifting eyebolt assy. Trying to help him so appreciate info plz.

buy,borrow or rent the lifting cable kit.
comes with both cables both lifting attachments and all the bolts.

He tried to buy, rent, or borrow one but none around locally. Not even the local Yamaha mechanic has one.

As you probably know, Yamaha V8 lifting eye assembly goes for about $200, so he said using for just one time use is not prudent to buy.

I'll have to drive over the buddies house and measure and fabricate one. Thx.

remember there are TWO lifting points.
one bolts to the flywheel using the 3 unused holes.]run the bolt in to far and you destroy the timing belt.

the other bolts to the port head using 2 6mm bolts.

I knew about the 3 bolt holes but didn't about the timing belt underneath. Thanks for that info.

just remember it takes TWO lifting points or the motor wont come up level.

also remember it weighs about 860 pounds.

...also remember it weighs about 860 pounds.

Not to mention that's it's almost 8' long(high) .

It's a monster!
