31.25 for an eye bolt. Ouch! Can I use an eye bolt from my hardware store, or would you recommend against that? here
Re: Removing outboard from transom?
I am going to be doing some transom/hull work this weekend and I'll have to take the motor off to do that. Could somebody please outline how exactly you take an outboard off a boat?
It's a 1973 Mercury 85 HP Long Shaft
Ditto. Don't use a hardware store eye. they aren't up to it. Make a sling out of rope or a tow-strap (check at stuffmart). Secure the sling, drop a chain over a large tree limb (as big as your leg), lower the trailer tongue to raise the motor/sling to the chain, hook on and raise the trailer tongue. Remove trailer/boat and set it down on a engine stand. Not a job for one person, even if you're a BOB (big ol boy) like me. protect your shoulders/back and gut, surgery is not a nice experience.
Re: how to remove throttle handle? more
Thanks for the response but still need help..
The wiring to the shift is interior mounted. I can't loosen the shift but it will not come off, not sure why. I am not sure what you mean by different remote controls, can you be a little more specific? Boat is a Cajun Fiberglass boat, interior shift cable. It was run with the muffs on and everything was fine but when we put the boat in the water, would not go forward or reverse.
There are many different remote controls; which type do you have?

Remove the nuts and battery cables from the battery posts with an adjustable wrench. Remove the two retaining screws, using a standard slotted screwdriver, and separate the remote from the boat with the cable still attached. Place the control housing, with the control handle side downward, on small wooden blocks positioned on either side of the handle. [links]
Loosen the Allen screw, accessed through the small round opening on the back of the remote housing, for three full turns with an Allen wrench. Place a center punch inside the head of the Allen screw. Tap on the punch with a rubber mallet, dislodging the control handle splines from the hub splines. Finish unthreading the Allen screw and remove the handle.
When you want to remove the combined throttle and shift control, called the "remote standard controls" by Evinrude, you not only remove the control unit from the boat, you must open the control unit and remove the control cable from the unit. Though they're called "standard controls," there are minor variations in the sizes of the screws, but otherwise, once the unit is free of the boat, the project is all but complete.
Standard slotted screwdriver
Remove the three cover screws from the back of the housing. Separate the housing and cover. Pull the shift cable pin from the shift control clevis on the bottom of the shift lever to disconnect the cable. here
