You’re a life saver I tell you that good job
thanks dony !
juste a question it’s a same metod for an evinrude 9.9 ??
sorry i am french … ;)
Thank you for the video! How to decide if there is too much moisture in the
oil and the gearbox O-rings need to be replaced?
Thanks for the outboard vid… that was some nasty water.. with a little
oil in it ; )
Dony, maybe someday you can do a video on how to change the oil on some of
these new Toro lawn mowers that don’t have a drain plug…….
id like to add its best if motors hot to crack top screw first just a
little if not it can blow some real stinky oil all over everything
This your outboard engine!
Dony is correct….you will get an air pocket if you try filling it from
the top. Always best to fill from the bottom. A gear lube pump with a
fitting on the bottom makes it much easier just like dony had.
@MyBrilliantChannel u cant fill it from the top hole because it will
pressureize the lower unit when u pump it in
I like the lawn mower
I have a 1973 merc 200 20 hp outboard. The lower unit started leaking from
the propeller. I was wondering what seal needs to be replaced. I removed
the prop and could not see a seal so im at a loss. Your help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
I never worked on boat motors but I just learned something I didnt know
I would have to see it, but check to see if there is a small set screw at
the lower unit holding it on
Thanks for a well done video.
@MyBrilliantChannel it fits in the bottom hole not the top
Oh Donny Boy! You’re the man with the ham. Great video as always, thank you.
Thank you so much! That was easy to follow. You’re great!!!
@krismounts lol, thanks
@conflustered are you a marine mechanic?
Hi, the grey color of the oil is the same situation for trimmer,
chainsaws, etc.? Becasue sometimes I see cylinders with a very sticky gray
paste and the cylinder, piston and ring are so damaged I mean all are so
striped, that I can feel so deep the scratches. I know that some people use
old gasoline, maybe with condensed water, but I do not know really what’s
the cause the sticky gray paste. Thanks!!!!
Great vid. Wish you would do one on replacing the lower seal. Looks simple
but that normally the ones that are BAD
thanks for watching dave!
Quick question for you, I have a 6hp that isn’t taking water through the
intake. Any advice?
Great vid, i will be replacing my oil this afternoon for the 1st time
myself
How did water get in there?
Thank you DonyBoy! I was actually scared to do this. I have a 1980s Mercury
8HP Outboard that has never been changed. The beast runs with one pull
after sitting but I knew I needed to change the Lower Unit Oil… Now I am
looking to see if I can perform a simple tune up on the top end. Hope you
have a video for that.
Nice video. Would like to see more outboard maintenance or repairs. Thanks
for sharing.
how do you chang it on a 300 verodo I got it last week
Great Video!
NICE VID!
water pump impeller may be bad. Should be six screws holding lower unit to
motor. Remove them, take out the screw on shift linkage which will be
exposed when lower unit comes down a bit. Remove screw and take lower unit
off. Water pump is on shaft. remove screws,take water pump cover off,you
will see a rubber piece, maybe six fins. Are they worn down. Replace with
new one,can find online or at your local boat shop. There are many videos
on here that show how to do this. Search your hp and make.
Why not fill it from the top hole? stop it leaking out?
Good Job…simple and imformative
Hi, i’ve got a little off topic question, but i have 6hp 2stroke merc – so
its quite similar type. I want to replace impeler but somehow i’m unable to
disconnect shifting rod, do you have any advice please? 😉 good vid btw,
very educational
probably should have pressure and vac tested the gearcase as there was
water in the oil. water can get into the gearcase thru the propshaft seal,
the drive shaft seal or the shift rod seal.
Great video I didn’t know these had oil in them lol thumbs up
Great video Dony ! just a quick question – I have just purchased a Mercury
15hp same as yours, and there is some oil leaking from just behind the
prop, where you mentioned on the video – what seal do i need to replace ?
do you have a video of replacing these seals at all ? Thanks for any advice
buddy!
thanks for watching
Why can’t you fill it from the top hole
@MyBrilliantChannel it’s toake sure there are no air pockets
i have one of those pumps without the mercurty fitting. i use it to change
manual transmission and differential fluid
I don’t have a boat,but who cares still a great vid Don.
@123908761 not this one
u gonna do prop shaft seals on this one?
@classicoutboards 100 % correct.
Thanks!!
