Can someone give me a rough idea of the weight of a 150 Evinrude V6? I can't find a spec sheet on this. Wondering if 2 guys can lift it onto my truck, or should I rent an engine hoist like for a car V8 engine.
It is over 300 lbs. No way to lift it by hand. If you could back right up to it you might lean it over against the tailgait and then lift the lower unit and slide it in. Just make sure it is on a blanket or something that will protect the lower part of the cowling that does not remove. Even then you stand a good chance of breaking the lower part of the cowl.

I agree. Even if two guys /could/ lift it, it'd be extremely awkward to move. The likelihood of a crushed foot would be pretty high.

The cross flow V-4 weighs in at about 312 lbs., the V-6 is about 386 lbs, add 15 lbs. for XL shaft length.
Dont know where you are, but if your in the Tacoma/Seattle area, I have a engine hoist you can borrow.

You might be able to get by with a come along over a branch or reinforced garage rafter.
