Hey…where u put seal washer on drain plug or vent screw?

Does the drain bolt get a blue gasket seal ?
Awesome video – thanks for putting this together
Good video. Phenominal garage floor.
What prop are u running? Looks like a spitfire? What Pitch?
So…first time maintenance on this. The gear oil is milky. Just replace the seal?
Thanks, recently over to the Mercury 115 after many years with Yamaha. Was wondering where the drain is. !
That prop needs some dings in it. Too damn nice lookin.
Thanks Sir . Bless ya
How do you like that spitfire prop? What speeds are you seeing?
So unless I missed it somewhere and can't find it in the comments, how much lube did it take to fill the case? Thanks
How many quarts should just take?
very helpful
Thanks for posting. Would tipping engine up help reduce oil coming back out?
With running the Stainless 4 blade did you gain or lose high-end RPM? I have a similar boat with an aluminum 4 blade I want to switch to.
I have the same motor on my tri toon.
I noticed you have a 4 blade spit fire prop.
What side is the pitch
Hello. What is the difference between the Mercury 115 PRO XS with a black bottom and a silver bottom?
Will changing my oil and gear oil myself void mercury warranty?
