Captain weekend, best name ever.
Thank you. I am a new boat/motor owner and a woman....I can do this! Thanks again!
I got the Quicksilver kit from Cabala's and everything came out great. Had to return to the video to find which plug to replace first. Again thanks.
Thank you sir , today I went to pro bass shop got my oil filter and oil and change it in 5 min. The deal charge me 210$ for it. Thank you for your help.
Very comprehensive video. Easy to understand. Saved me a lot of money. Thank you
Great show and very informative and very well explained thank you very much from Sydney Australia 😊
Thank you for producing some very informative and helpful videos on boat maintenance etc., but I must say that the intro could be shorter.
Thank you for your time and effort 👌
Great video but I would add one bit of information to the video or detail section. What viscosity lube do you want to use for the outboard. So people don’t use 10w-30 haha
Thankful for the information just wish that there was more light on the lower unit.🙂
Simple and to the point. Thanks.
Very well done, thanks for sharing this info!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing can do it myself after watching that😀
You should ALWAYS take your top/fill plug out first.
That way you know you can get it out and refill it.
Forgot to mention to take cap off the reservoir tank at the top of the engine (i/o) and to keep on pumping until it reaches its level. I didnt do that so my low lube alarm went off. Question i have is can you top off from the top or do you have to pump from the bottom again ? Boats already on the water thinking i did what i was supposed to -_-
Outstanding video! Did this myself today - Thank you!
Great video buddy thanks for sharing
Thank you! This is a great instructional video.
Can you post a parts list. What to oil your spline shaft with. What oil to use for the lower unit, and a link to buy the hand pump for the oil
Excellent video, I am going to give this a try!!!
Thanks
Thank you Captain for your videos
This was helpful thanks
Thank you.... Great video...
Thanx very helpful 👍
thanks very much, very good instructions
excellent video captain
Great video! Thank you.
Very informative, thank you
Yeah, this is the one.
Great tip. How about a 2008 90 Hp Mercury that will not go into reverse or forward?
I made a mistake and remove the Philip head plug thinking it was the drain plug I was adding gear lube then I saw the drain plug at the very bottom of my motor.I am wondering if I did any damage by removing that screw.I read somewhere never remove the Philip head screw because they hold some fittings together inside the lower unit.
Ty for great video. By the way I just recently bought a boat w 200 evenrude a ck engine light comes n also beeps too, how to ck for trouble codes. I haven't taken it out in the water cuz I am afraid something serious is wrong w the motor can I tell me how? Ty!
Thank's for the video's, I really like you're product's, I have a 2016 Tracker pontoon with an 90 4 stroke outboard, dealer sugested I do 20 hr. serv. inc. oil filter and gear lube and impeller, preformed all service but never could get lower unit to go back up, took it to bass pro. and two mechanics had it back on in 5 min. brought it back home and water tested so I could check oil; level, noticed no water coming out of teltail, ran a small wire in to fitting incase a dirt dauber had built no obst. any idea's? How can I be sure the pump is working?
How do i remove a stuck grease vent plug on a mercury 40 bigfoot?
I just replaced my water pump impeller and still don't have water coming out of the pee stream at idle, with ear muffs on. Do I just need more water as in a lake or do I need to run it faster or could I have a more serious problem?
thanks great help
Is the gear oil lube standard or is there an oil thickness difference between gear oil lube? Thanks
My boat doesn't have any screws on top.
all i have is the drain plug so how can i know when its full ??
Often wondered why a slotted screwdriver rather than the normal Phillips head. Be much easier
Can you use synthetic gear oil sae 75w-90 in a 2008 4.3 mercruiser alpha 1 tks engine gear case?
Is it possible to replace the plugs with (of course) with the same sized threaded type only a type that s removed and replaced using a socket wrench? I had a Evinrude 175 back in '88 and changed the gear lube with a big flat blade screw-driver and it tightened down fine. Six months of heavy fishing later, I went to loosen the screws and I could not. I want to say impossible. I suppose the vibration from the running motor tightened it into oblivia! LOL! A socket would have done it! Thanks for the good vid! JEE.
My flat head drain plug screw is stripped, does anyone know if they make a hex head drain plug screw or if you can find one somewhere?
My drive oil Reservoir says add. What grade oil. 4.3 XL mercury. Inboard outboard u know?
How Much gear lube does your outboard take
thanks
Thanks
I have a 97 7.4 mercruiser bravo 1 I can not find the lower drain plug I've heard its behind the prop does anyone know if I have to take the prop off
Someone is bullshitting you.
Behind the prop by the sphincter valve?
is there a difference between marine gear lube, and lower unit oil? I am looking to replace the lower unit oil in my engine and i found some marine gear lube at the store today but it came in a tube and i think it is thick. not sure.
I would just make sure it says "Lower Unit" gear lube on container. Otherwise forgettaboutit!
There is a difference. If you are replacing the lower unit gear oil replace it with gear oil.
What kinda of oil
thank you
could you not leave the plug in the bottom and fill from the top vent until it comes out of the other top vent then plug the top one's then you wouldn't get any leaking when you remove the pump
+Tyler Oikawa my understanding is there could be an air bubble down there and burn up a bearing or something I'm not a boat mechanic I just love to fish
Yes you can
So pretty much, this is a oil change ?
What kind of oil it's
What type of oil are you using?
Marine gear lube.
If you're doing it yourself look for the quart size that has a nozzle tip. You squeeze it in from the bottom..
how to drain and change oil on a 2 stroke 7.5 mercury
One quick note. There is no reason to drain the reservoir. Only the oil that resides in the out drive.
Chuck Best why is that?
anyone else notice that this is not an Inboard/Outboard as described in the title? lol
Warren Hardy an inboard outboard is done the same way
What happened when you flush your motor and not pie .
There's an easier way to add fluid without attachment or pump.
Please explain?
@@stevemcgovern3463 , watch this video czcams.com/video/nxRC4upkr2s/video.html
Those shitty little plastic pumps are de-graded by the Hypoid oil...get a 5 gal pail steel pump and you be wise!
