I have a 1972 16 Cohasset w/ a 1996 Evinrude 88HP motor. I need to hoist up the motor with a cherry picker to wet sand / paint / gel coat the bottom. There are three Eye-bolt inserts on top of the flywheel. I have tried every Eye bolt I can find (5/16 fine thread and coarse thread to 5/16 metric thread). I am having no luck, everytime I try the 5/16, it fits the hole perfectly but will not match up threads and screw down into the hole. Any help would be super appreciated.
