Disconnect the throttle and shift cables and wiring harness from the engine.

If you have overhead rafters you can hoist the engine with a come-along or a rope and a couple of pulleys. If not, you can balance the engine on the skeg and tilt the boat out from under it. Takes two guys though - one to balance the motor and one to lift the bow. Two guys can carry a 40 hp far enough to get it out of the way or up onto a stand.
