You mean their is an even better way? Gotta help get around that tree a third time man.

Oh yeh!
One arm around the bottom of the power head pulling it into your chest area, and other arm stretched out down the leg supporting the physical weight of it, carry it like your playing “thunderstruck” - and we need that playing in the third video whilst you do your third lap around the tree!
Go Gwoz !!

One more video for the win!

Well done that man!!

This is how you carry an engine

Man that’s impressive watching him go down those stairs. I will have to train harder and shoot for the tree ten houses down

@gwozhog - you’re an absolute nut job - love it

I was going to reply to your Sri- Lankan man image and tell you to avoid carrying the outboard like that as you may send the sump oil in the wrong direction.. no doubt you’ll have found that out now if it did indeed go wrong?

On a four stroke, the power head must always be higher than the leg, which in your case it was.
But notice when you were carrying it, the outboard was in like a reverse tilt mode, unless the outboard is a four sided storage, or the sump has a guard inside to stop oil flow, you could cause problems.
Hopefully you’ve not seen any oil around the leg ?

Those 40hp 2T Yam engines weigh in at 75kg, more than he probably weighs. The guy needed help getting it on his shoulder, not sure I'd want to risk dropping it by misplacing my footing. Carrying engines is often over obstacles or unstable ground. Glad mine stays firmly bolted on the transom.
