Here you can see the location of the lifting rings (they are always there on the engine just under a plastic sub-cowling that is fastened with two screws). You can also see where I had some (white) lines running from the rings over to the port side stern cleat to hold the engine slightly to one side so I could get tools in to work (was prophylactically epoxying transom holes). Ignore the red line in the foreground - that has nothing to do with the engine.
This was hard to photograph, but basically the mounting holes had NO sealant or anything protecting the core. What you can see that is light tan is raw, bare (and thankfully, dry) balsa core in the transom. There was a very, *very* slight amount of silicone around the washers (not that I would have wanted more of THAT). Really glad I'm doing this before any water got in - these are the last of the transom holes that are not over-drilled, epoxy filled, and then re-drilled.

M-Y Wedge slipped out of place and deformed, not sure why (did work fine for a different 3,000-mile tow). This allowed the motor to come down somewhat, but luckily not all the way as it "wedged" between the tilt cylinder and the transom.
