Need to take off one engine and replace with another, they are both Merc's so assume a lifting eye and hoist is the way to go, have access to the hoist but where to get the eye from? Alternatively any other ideas gratefully received.

Expurt is a drip under pressure, and the difference between an Amateur and a proffesional is getting paid.
Other option is to remove the gearbox, wind your jockey wheel right down, pack under the leg, & wind the jockey wheeel back up.
The fun bit is then needing two (maybe three if it's a bigger lump) bods to manhandle the engine down to ground level, although if you use a box or flatbed trailer & a pallet (couple it to a car as all the weight will be at the wrong end), the trailer floor will be conveniently at or about the right height.......

I have one and only a few miles up the road, your welcome to come and grab it.
Took a bit longer to get down to Looe to see the Black Dog team than anticipated, but a very big thank you to Rob for the loan of the lifting eye and the mounting hole template which has been really useful in getting a nice SS transom plate fabricated. Hopefully the Opti will be on in the next couple of weeks and then off to Looe again for it to be set up.
