Great tutorial...gave me the confidence I needed to do this myself. No more trips to the mechanic for such a simple task!

Thanks for the video. Gonna be doing this for the first time soon. Hit my prop yesterday so figure I might as well do this and perhaps the impeller while I’m at it.

Thank you. I like your calm clear approach and the music keeps it going. Appreciate it!

Thanks for this. Gonna change mine today!

I was expecting it to be a lot harder than what it really was, nice vid !

Love that “Dukes of Hazzard” type music! Thanks for the tutorial.

Great video, easy to understand. Thank you

I’m a first time boat owner. Great video. Looks like you could cool down after all that work

Thank you very much for sharing this video!! Very helpful especially for me as a first time boater!!!....GOD BLESS!!..

Well I never knew you fill from the bottom,....THANK you for this video VERY GOOD.

This helped a ton. Thanks.

Thanks your video is gonna save me a lot of money!

thanks you made it simple. Good job.

great video . cheers! from Germany

This video does the job ,Thanx man .

Sounds like the music from The Dukes of Hazzard!!

Thanks man good video very helpful 👍

Cool Video,,very informative plus an extra Bug flying around.

Liked the Music. Good Job.

Great video (reduce the music volume....leave the station alone)...! You make it look easy....! Never saw the impact screw driver like that so now I have one...Thanks...!

that's what I figured nice crocks!! Dig your tunes bro

Great video and will save me some cash by doing it myself ,,,thanks mate.

great video

I'm sure you are fine at that level. I usually have a little leak back out too... but you have to be the judge. You could replace the washers... but I change my oil fairly often (since it's cheap) and don't notice an water leaking into the oil. And since my boat is trailered, I would also notice if any oil were leaking out.

Great video thank you

Your the man!!

I liked the music I can also hear you clearly 😁👌

tks....looks easy enough....

Thanks brother!👊🏼

Thank you!

nice video, music fits too!!

Yes it is... now it's April and getting warm again!

Yours is listed first, and I see why. Thanks for the video. Never thought about an impact driver for the screw. Great point to make. Thanks again!!!

Good video .What propeller you using in the boat .thank you

very good,looking for that kind of pump

AWESOME...we just made our how to video.

I appreciate the video! I have not done this yet but I was wondering about the nylon washers. What is the specific size you use and where do you pick yours up? Thanks!

I change the oil fairly often, so I just use 80/90 gear oil that I buy in larger quantities. Of course I have to recommend that you use the manufacturers suggested oil.

Thank you really

nice vid , thx .......** where did you buy / find the Screw in adapter connector ??

I have a Mercury 2005 50xl salt water motor, what kind of oil do I use?

I had a little leak back out when I screwed the drain plug back in, but when i stick a 2" piece of wire in the vent hole, there is new lube on the end, should I add some more? And don't you have to replace the washers on the drain plug/ Vent plug?

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.

WHat is the middle hex/allen screw for?

What if a bunch drains out trying to out the bottom plug in. Can you too it up from the top?

After I fill my I trim up with bottle still attached. Still spills some but way easier for me! Got to get me one of those power drivers

Where did you purchase the pump?

Where did you pick up the pump?

I have same Johnson 90hp motor, I noticed oil was dripping from the propeller sides. What can be the issue?

The handheld impact driver is a great idea, until it's not. Using it to install the screw risks cracking the casing. I've seen the results and there is only the option of replacement at that point.

how offen do you think you have to change gear oil..? mine motor have runed 100 hours an im thinking about changeing the oil what do you think ? should i do it or not:)

It's like a dukes of hazard episode with the background music...

I'm having a hard time loosening the drain and fill screws--I used the impact screwdriver and the flat head tip bent--can you please advise me with suggestions to help in this matter.

Where do you get the in pac screwdriver? I need one. And thanks for the video

whats the background music??

It's computer generated according to certain parameters I set... to avoid any copyright issues. Sucks that I can use better music. Although, this one has a nice twang to it! lol

Can I ask why you didn’t just fill from the upper hole?

Great video thank you sir!! Only suggestion I have is very hard to hear you over the music. Maybe use a mic or keep the music off.

btw, can you buy one of those impact hammer tool at Harbor Freight tools? I

Is that a 2 stroke?

I can't unscrew my bottom screw, is it ok to fill the oil from the top hole?

If you pull the motor I might check out the hull .

Thanks! :)

i like bug at 1:00

I changed the lower unit oil in my evinrude 200 an the oil came out looking like a vanilla milk shake...what could be my problem an how to fix it myelf...thanks.

after you have pumped the oil in, refit the top screw and then...tilt the motor before removing the pump. saves the oil leaking out as much. thanks for the great video too...(hate the sound though)

Does anyone know if it's fine to fill the gear oil from the top vent?

First thing I'd do is replace that drain screw with a stainless hex bolt.

Why can't you refill from the top hole?

I've seen people fill it from the top instead of the bottom. Not sure if it makes a difference.

homie thats jsut regular gear oil? not marine gear oil?!?!?!?!? I bought some master pro gear oil same weight 80w-90 gl5 but its not marine grade?!?! i'm scared to put it in my outboard!

I like this piece of background music, but it's distracting when I'm trying to listen to what you're saying. Otherwise, good video of the procedure.

just fuckin sweatin from 2 plugs bahahahah

Please turn down the music so i can hear what you say

I put 10w 30 castroll gtx in mine.

Shouldn't use the impact driver, outs not necessary and could cause damage. If you tilt the motor up before taking out the oil fill line, a little less will drain out while you reinstall the lower plug.

Crank the tunes. F the haters.

Thanks Daniel, Good vid but I agree with, kill that annoying music in the background.

does it have to be a marine gear oil? or is regular gear oil ok?

That allows the air to escape, since the oil is thick. If you fill from the bottom you would likely end up with air pockets and underfill the unit.

Why can't you fill from the top?

Leave your comments or questions here!

Why can’t you fill from the top?

Should NEVER remove the bottom plug until you are able to loosen the top plug.

How did i get here

Lift the motor then pull the full line

Wtf did you just get out of that unit?! There is lu oil sopposed to be in there, no motor oil...

Seems like it's ass backwards by filling it from the bottom???

Why cant you just fill it from the top? Thats kind of a fuckaround. I dont get it, if you just do it slow it'll burp the air out will it not?

I filled mine from the top 😬

Maybe you need to pump more to get out all the bubbles oil coming from the inside....just say

Now I have very very minimal knowledge about this and assuming this is the way you’re doing that it’s correct.. now how come you can’t fill it from the top part so when you remove the pump, no oil spills out from the bottom.. ? Seems like more logical way to do it lol

Thx for the help #FishOnSaltwaterAdventures KZfaq show thx u . Check us out a variety channel something for all

Step 1. Sit ups

You can lose that silly music actually!

Pivot pin install lower unit removed by mistake 1998 out board 35 hp Johnson

Just my opinion but, the impact driver is a bad idea. Totally overkill. You're just gonna damage the screws and wind up with PITA or expensive repair. The impact driver is a last resort in the tool box.

My Lord that music is annoying.

Turn off that stupid music i can barely focus on what you're saying.
