New DF 20AS help please

[Wayne Creek]

Can anyone tell me the threading on the bolt that attaches the lifting eye to the DF 20AS head?

Dealer referred me to Suzuki and they're looking into it. I ordered the bolt and eye but they won't be here for a few days.

This motor only weighs about 100 lbs so I figure I can put something together to get it on the boat but I don't want to buy a thread checker or a bunch of test bolts just for this.

I can get a friend to help me manhandle it into place but at my age friends with good backs are in short supply!

Thanks

M8x20
There is a engine hook used for lifting
It is held on with a M8X20 bolt
Should be able to find in about any hardware store
Look at the parts page (red letters at top )
Look at the engine block

Art,

Thanks very much for the reply. I just got the motor and I'm anxious to hoist it onto my boat. I don't expect the Suzuki bolt and eye for a few days so this helps me get ahead of the game.
