I love your videos. Glad I bumped into your videos. It’s one of my fav channels. Practical, funny, and actually helpful with Suzuki engine maintenance. Your videos are first to pop up when searching for Suzuki engine maintenance.
Thanks. But, Im just a shade tree mechanic, who must do everything myself. Join the live stream monday the 9th at 6pm eastern time.
Thank you for showing this complete lower case oil change. I have to do three small motors and I do understand it's a pain in the rear end.
Great video Dave!!!
I really enjoyed watching and I like your style.
Keep it coming man, thanks!
I’ve had mine re-sealed once. Upper seal(s) were the culprits as you noted. Technician said they go first.
Dam right i hit the thumbs up, evan if I didn't like it,lol . Really Captain,you are a very knowledgeable fisherman, rigs ,tackle, rods reels your area waters. SO HERES TO YA ON A GREAT NEW YEAR.OVIEDO GUY..
THANK YOU. I pray for our country, first. Then, everything else will fall into place.
Awesome sharpener Dave! Happy New Year buddy!
Thanks. Im keeping my fingers crossed, for sure.
I love Captain Dave's honesty! Good tips sir, thank you.
Will someone please buy this man some disposable mechanics gloves so he stops dreading these lower unit oil changes? ; )
Hey buddy...I really enjoyed your old school video & your to the point instructions & I was happy to give you both & hope you get better luck with the U-TUBE rewards & very grateful for your in-depth advice...I'm old & new school...hard to believe but my pic is very recent & i just turned 50yrs OCT 22 2023 (1973) bro !!!
I'm wasting my time, and will not be doing any fishing videos any longer. It doesn't pay, and time is $. May scrap YT all together.
Yes, physics states that it'll create a air lock in the lower unit. if it's leaking you need to wait 10-15 minutes for the air bubbles in the oil to burp out.. then add more pumps.
Hey Dave I really like that hat!!!
Great video thanks bud!
Glad you liked it!
Oh man Capt Dave, I can smell that gear oil all the way up North here. The stench is almost that strong isn't it? Iv'e worn that cologne a few times! Practice and patience Dave, you'll get those new wolf den additions down to a science.
maybe.....but didn't sMell a thing, Not even 100 hrs yet....ISN'T THAT A WUFLU SYMPTOM??? Jus' spent $4700 on a new A/C (heat pump 15 minutes ago)
KNIFE SHARPENING SERVICE, IS IN MY FUTURE❗❗ GOT MY $600 STIMULAS already. 2k would have been better. hahahaha (PELOSI IS A SHITBAGHAG)
Liked you for sure!!!! Keep it up!
THANKS👍
Great show, greets from Scandinavia.
GREETINGS! And thanks for stopping by. Jacksonville Florida.
Dave....always make sure you can remove the top screw first. If you drain it and can't fill it back properly then you're in trouble. Fill from the bottom until it comes out of the top hole and with the bottle still in the bottom hole screw the top screw in. Then remove the bottle tip and screw in the bottom screw. Remove the top screw again and top off. Filling from the bottom prevents air bubbles.
OH my stuff comes loose and yeah I got it. People ask me all the time "why from the bottom??" #trump2024
I've smashed that like button. I really do like your rants. My grandfather used to rant like that. 😂 Hopefully you get new followers soon.
rants? I call it observations, passed on.
@@CaptDavesSportfishing Oh yes, for your generation it's called observations passed on for sure. There is a certain generational quality to them. My grandad used to talk like that, and my grandmother would say, "there is John going off on his rants again, tsk tsk tsk. " I don't know about you, but I knew better than arguing with my grandmother.
Most underrated CZcamsr!
OBVIOUSLY!!!!!! look at that view count. The whole reason I don't care anymore.
ur a king man
Thanks for the gear lube change lesson Capt Dave!! I'm glad you where able to get out on the water!!!
got out A lot, just ain't catchin much. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ ''RIGHT NOW'', 44 VIEWS, 7 LIKES......STILL GOING NO WHERE❗🥺
@@CaptDavesSportfishing I've learned real quick with CZcams, I just put the content out and leave it. It gets what it gets!
@@NewVisionLCS LEAVE IT...of course. and flat-line. this is part of my income, at .04 cents per hour🙄🙄
@@CaptDavesSportfishing I was referring to me. I can post it and leave it.🕺
@@NewVisionLCS of course...gotta have a hobby out on the road, do ya carry a travel rod? 😎
Yeah it’s hard to keep motivated doing CZcams videos. Thank god I do it just for a hobby I guess. Will never understand how full time fishing youtubers do it. I smashed that like button. Fishing has been weird lately in our area. I tend to fish fl more than ga even though I live in ga but these new regs on everything makes fl a catch and release state almost. I’m all about catch and release but sometimes you want to keep some. Tightlines Capt!
YES, they eat biscuits and gravy and live in a shoe box, OR their plastic kayak.
Man I’m glad you noticed the fishing has been awfully funny this year! Been near SAV all my life, and can’t remember a year like this! Fish are not where they should be, and found a few where they shouldn’t be🤷♂️ Going to keep trying though👍
@@melloreel I am just glad it’s not just me
@@melloreel yep, it's been so hot & cold fishing it's crazy. And being this is bazzaro world to start off with makes it where I had to revamp back to my older days....''6 hr day, period! one rate, period!, wanna fish less, that's your prerogative. BUT we sure need wiggle room. a 1/2 day if ya want ''any in da box'', hasn't been cutting it.
@@ReelinTension it’s all over our area. Every post is about what happened to the fish?😪
I have two you tube videos and the viewership is embarrassingly low, but what the heck. Great video by the way, worthy of an up vote.
well I've got almost 1000 videos. been doing CZcams since 2007 and basically nobody gives a shit about anything else except Suzuki maintenance videos
@@CaptDavesSportfishing I will check out some of your videos.
Don't worry, I like your video's very much!
I've been doing CZcams so long I stopped worrying about what other people think a while back.
Quite a friend you have there in Orowock. I'll enjoy sharpening videos. I'm a lousy knife sharpener.
serious channel supporter!
Dave, great content. I run twin 2019 DF175AP’s. Could you explain the water cooling system and how to unblock the pipes leading to the telltale
sorry, don't do videos on demand, I have a whole playlist of boat related videos: my boat, and I'm not a mechanic, just a user: czcams.com/video/jQRPVEELjAo/video.html

I thought NC was bad with fish rules. Geez. NC did shut down flounder except for one month a year. That hurt. Thumbs up smashed!!!
The gods of fish just killed flounder fishing here too! Don't know how, but similar.
and its sooooooo funny, people think, not all but many thin a charter means a freezer of fish. I tell'em were not dragging nets, and this isn't 1970. It' Gestapo land.
great vids, maybe i missed it, but did you make one on changing impeller? I for one would compensate you, if and when. thanks in advance! chad
I don't do it, I have it done. Too heavy for me.
Wow Orowock1 your a heck of a good man! I bought a lansky angle sharping system it works pretty damn good for me.
YES HE IS❗ I bought one, and so Toy like....didn't get a good review on Amazon from me and didn't make the cut for my tools of the trade page. I like the spyderco sharpmaker, way better. (with extra stones)
Got to take care of my slow pitch jigging coach. The wen sharpener is new to me but so far iv'e had some pretty good results.
@@orowock1 nice man I've seen them I know they would work great for chisels planes knives sharping. Take care happy new year guys.
@@CaptDavesSportfishing I gotcha I bought the diamond kit with the extra fine stones and I get a polished edge and sharper than any other knife I've owned. I go to a knife shop every now and then the old man sharpens on a water wheel and he does a good job but with the lansky I can get sharper, just my experience I didn't want to spend the money on a edge pro but looking back I should of just bought it. Anyhow happy new year Capt!
@@shoresharp8349 yep, watch the ''Aussie in his dungeon'' on the YT, he uses the lansky. He even has a Tormek. And still uses his lansky
Hi great video just a question i have a 210 Quintrex legend center console boat with a 60 hp Mercury engine i think its a bigfoot its hard to shift in to gear i have taken control cables off and it shifts smoothly so must be at the engine end any ideas i can do to make it change smoother thank you
I'm not a boat mechanic, but ya may want to check the shifter, and cables, or go hydraulic steering. It's so worth it!
Question: can those fiber washers be found at Ace or Home Depot. I’m doing our Mercruiser and I’m in the learning phase. I was hoping to find those plug washers so I could get them right away. I wonder why they aren’t rubber like on an oil filter.
NO. They can be found on Amazon if thats fast enough for ya.
The rig is aluminum, so are the threads. Then using an impact screwdriver when tightening the plugs is not good at all. God enough whith hand power, Just like with oil plugs on car engines
IM NOT WACKING IT TO DEATH.....I do per my 40 yr mechanic does & recommends. NEVER had a single issue, in my 45 yrs of Outboard maintenance. But thanks for having to comment YT ninja.
I guess the 40-year mechanic that showed me how to use that tool was wrong
I agree. God is always enough 🙂
Long day when you forget tools and need extra lol 😅
DillMonster260
Now when your done pumping the oil in the bottom unit before you pull the pump hose and put back in the screw could you tilt the engine up to keep your hand from getting lower unit oil on your hands
DOUBT IT. gravity doesn't care. Only video makers, who never show you getting gear oil on ya.
Capt Dave, sort of a stupid question but why do people filled from the bottom and not the top hole on an outboard motor? In a car transmission or differential, you fill the top until it start to drip and put the fill plug back in.
from what I understand it's because it's a closed system with no breather
and you don't want air pockets or bubbles
Looks like the catch 2000 spot. We caught some fat trout in that area.
OHHHHHHH, those were the dayz, Skipper! ''slack high water'' of course chucking the plastic.
„Chinese Social Credid.“ 😂😂
Why not leave the drain plug in and fill it from the top hole until it leaks out? Seems like that would save you half the mess.
GREATEST QUESTION EVER ASKED ON MY CHANNEL SINCE 2007❗❗ I asked the same thing many moons ago as a child. """"""SUPPOSEDLY""""""" top fill creates no bubbles. There's just a S.O.P. way of doing things
Ya tried it?
@@C509NorthernTerritory that is how most automotive transmissions and differentials are filled, so I don’t think it would be an issue filling from the top. If bubbles were a concern, check the level again after running it in drive and top it off. Any bubbles should rise to the top pretty quick I would imagine.
@@C509NorthernTerritory NO. When it comes to my livelihood, in which my outboards are. I stick with all manufactures suggested maintenance recommendation.
Changing your lower unit oil is one of the easiest jobs you can do on a boat. It should take 10mins per engine. I would not torque the bolts that huge. The manual calls for 6.6 ft lbs of torque which is hand tighten and not even that hard. Always wipe the magnet on the bottom screw clean, if your bolt doesnt have a magnet, go buy one, you should have it. I keep 2 qts of gear lube with me and change it right there at the boat ramp after i get back so its all nice and hot. Dont go past 100 hours changing your oil is great to see how your seals are holding up. If its milky you know you need to change one of the 3 seals. Buy a 25 pack of the crush washers, they are fiber so make sure to get the right ones not generic ones. Lastly, all the pros and shops all use quicksilver sae90 lower unit oil. The oil is greenish blue in color. I have yamaha engines and still use quicksilver, its not great for just Mercs it works for most all outboards and stern drives.
I got it taken care of, been doing it for 40 plus years! Never had a lower-unit fail. Other people may not want to do it BECAUSE the videos usually DO NOT show the messy parts.
Hi Dave!
I'm interested in the tool u use for the bolts. I'm trying to find out what it is called here in Sweden, Europe.
What's the English word for it good sir?
If you're talking about what I take the lower unit plugs out with it's called in impact driver
@@CaptDavesSportfishing sorry my misstake . I meant the gearhouse oil bolts
What horsepower kicker motor do you use?
I don't have it anymore I sold it cuz I used it for offshore trolling. any longer
I have an entire playlist and the videos about installing and everything else is on there. who was the 15 Merc pro kicker. long shaft
which is really just a Tahatsu.
Done ;)
Thanks for acknowledging the absolute BS that is lower unit gear oil changing. I still can't believe this is the best system for doing this they've come up with.
well, MERCS ya gotta take off the PROP!! (not sure if all MERCS are like that?) and in the hub under the prop shaft, there's a oil plug. Its a old saying but ''man went to the moon'', Yeah, ya got that straight.
You remind me of Tom hanks
Hey Capt Dave man if you get anymore hats let us know I would buy 1 just let us know!
Thanks for stoppin' by. Always appreciate it.
Why not fill from the TOP??? Put in bottom plug, fill until overflowing from the top plug? Tap, wait for air, tap, wait for air. Fill. Plug. Done.
because that's not how you do it. but you can do that you can do whatever you want
love the language. "total bullshit" makes it completely clear.
MAN-SPEAK, IT'S REAL TOXIC THESE SOY BOY DAYS. go watch a real mechanic. I said, ''not explaing every detail''
That's cuz you said it's already blowing up at 200 hours
Blowin up?
I know what you mean about the like button nobody wants to touch that evil button😅
With that monster stone,You must be planning some big slaying 13 years on CZcams you must be a millionaire with all that yt money
yeah.....back when YT wasn't censoring. I'm starting a all AMERICAN sword company with the millions, one wack and fish are filleted. Gonna make Bubba blade a ''who, are they? importer.''
Bullshit! lol so true!!
11:10 you going to harpoon a whale?
no. public Right Whale bullshit rules. REMEMBER, Florida is ''rule land'', these days.
Don't understand you tried to make it look hard when it's not.
I GET ASKED ALL THE TIME! NO IT'S NEVER HARD. JUST MESSY, AND THAT IS WHAT NO ONE SHOWS.
