How much clearance do i need from the transom to the A-frame to fit a 90 HP E-tec.
Of course it's when tilting the engine up the distance is most critical.
My Suzuki Dt 65 has plenty of clearance, but no point in buying a new engine if it doesn't fit. My A-frame is designed to fit in my garage, therefore it's not so tall.
Might be worth checking wioth the dealer how the lid comes off. I too have the low frame for garage clearance, and have a finger trapping clearance between the back corner of my Merc & the frame, but as it's a clamshell, I can still get the lid off when it's down.
A conventiaonal "lift off" lid would need the engine to be tilted to get in.
