Thank you 🙏. My husband used to do all the maintenance of the boat but since he passed 3 years ago, I’ve been taking on the job. Vids like this are very helpful. Thanks again ❤️ Much love - Patriot Gal
Sorry to hear that, but very glad I could help!
Sorry to hear that. Love to help!
Best maintenance video I’ve watched in a long while
2:25 I'm not a boat engine guru by a long shot but, some of these oil plugs have a built in magnet. If you have one of these, it should go in the bottom hole. This attracts random bits of ferrous shavings that may be loose in the lower unit. Usually a pair of oil plugs will come with one magnetic(bottom) and one non-magnetic(top.)
Hey mate. I'm 58 and finally getting my first boat in a week and it has the Merc 40 2 stroke on it. It's used so maintenance will be the first thing I do with it, so this helped a lot, thanks much.
As a retired motorsport dealer, I would like to make videos like this and share my knowledge with those who want to learn. Absolutely your videos are helpful and are a pleasure to watch. You're like the next door neighbor everybody wishes they had.. Thank you and please keep doing what you're doing.
Awesome comment!! Thank you!!!
Excellent, cut-to-the-chase, video.
Thanks for getting right into it.
Ok, I'm new to outboard as I just bought my first boat. I come from the motorcycle/automotive world and it blows my mind that this entire motor only needs like 400ml of fluid. Like I was looking all over the motor for crank case oil fill/drain, but I guess the only fluid is the lower unit! Crazy.
Yea if it’s a 2 stroke. I was looking all over too
Excellent video! Nice warm outdoor weather you have for that job. It takes a little longer up here in Canada at the end of the season during November! The tubing is stiff, the oil is cold and thick, temperature around the freezing mark. But we still had fun because the summer was great!
That was informational doing my motor for the first time
Well guys I need things shown to me as simple as possible. You guys are simple minded ...so it all works out...lol ty
Was not planning on subscribing at all. Just needed a little help doing an oil change at home, but damn did that catchy intro get me instantly & yes each pump you do get about an inch of fluid🤣
Thanks for the help bud!
Great, and easy to follow with some cheap entertainment lol thanks brother.
Good video. Glad you have fun doing what you do.
Thank you so much, got my project boat finished, and you guys helped me out woth the gear lubrication!
They are plugs not bolts. They are also different ,the lower one has a magic tip and the top one does not. Also raise up the engine a little bit to drain all the oil. If you don’t change the oil every 12 years you don’t care about that lower unit at all. Change and replace gaskets a min. Of every two years. A lower in cost a lot of money to replace.
Your video helped me out a lot.
Awesome. Thanks for making an easy job easier. Plus like your attitude
Thanks Charles!
Thank you for getting right to the point...
Great video thank you sir for the help
Link to the pump? Where you buy that?
Thanks for the awesome video! Definitely going to do this before I put it away for the year!
Holy sh...!!! Thanks man! 👍
First minute of this video, probably saved my engine...
5:45 cracked me up 😂 🎣
Keep it simple 🎉
Super easy explains thank you sir
Fabulous thanks 😊
Thank you for the refresher course, you guys make everything look like fun!
Thank you!!
I loved your face at 6:00 I literally died with your explanation XDD
At least I know your watching 🤣
@@g4outdoors 00!9 ...
Is that bottom bolt usually hard to get back in place?
Is this the 125 HP? I tried three different size thread patterns on a pump and none of them fit my plug threads.
Themis video is worth it. If only for the splugemaster 3000
Where did you find ur replacement gaskets?
They come with the drain plugs, or they come in an oil change kit.
Great video man absolutely helpful.. P.S. do you watch the curse of oak island. The bobby dazzler comment had me thinking about oak island. Lol. Awesome video
The guy in the video definitely was into Oak Island 🤣🤣
Do I have to mix oil and gas if I have an oil reservoir? New to boats but I have a reservoir with an oil cap, and a separate reservoir on the hull where I fill the gas up
If it a 2stroke motor with an oil reservoir and the oil injector pump is working correctly… No you don’t need to pre mix the gas with oil… but if your oil Pump is not working and you notice the reservoir is not getting lower and are needing to add more oil, then your oil pump may not be working at that point YES I would premix my fuel!
If it’s a 2stroke it will consume oil
If it a 4stroke it’s like a car the oil is contained and will need to be changed after how ever many hours of use, like a car
@@g4outdoors thank you!!!!
“A prison shank ready to put in some work!”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Much appreciated, thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you I always wonder why we had to pump the oil in
When I tried this, something weird happened. Eventually the oil just stopped flowing into the lower unit and started seeping out the edges of the pump where it screws in to the bottle. I could not get any more oil into the motor and it would not seep out of the top section like it's supposed to. I had plenty of oil left in the 32 oz container but it just kept seeping out of the pump itself. I'm kind of getting the feeling that my pump sort of exploded even though it was brand new. Should I just get a new pump and try again? Thank you.
Hey guys ya doing a great job on changing the gear oil 🛢 so I like 👍 and subscribed heck yeah.
I have a 2003 tracker 40 hp 2 stroke. Should I use Sae 90 or 80-90w? Some people say Sae 90 is only for 75+ hp and some people say either is fine. Thanks
😂sploogemaster 3000 that’s funny something I would say 😅👌🏼
Can you comment the type of gear oil used?
That into song 🔥🔥🔥👌🏽💯
The manual says to let about an ounce leak out of the bottom when you’re done anyways to allow for expansion.
So you don’t need the pump thing? Cuz no one has that
Where do I get the plunger kit
Great video loved it 👍
Been nice if you would have said what kind of oil and how much thank for the info.
Great video.thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the video! Can I perform this the very same way on a 1986 mercury Thunderbolt egnition, 9.8, 2 stroke? Also other than the transom where else can you find the year and model on the motor?
I need to know as well
The serial # can always be found stamped into the freeze-plug on the engine block.
Great job guys. Now are you gonna do a video on how to winterize that motor? Mine's a 40 hp Mercury 2 stroke and I have no clue how to do that.
Sam Thompson Thanks for the video suggestion! We will get that out in a timely manner. Did you brave the Labor Day lake? Lol We should be out there filming everyone goofing on the ramps. We always talk about doing it, but never do. I’m sure it would make for good content.
@@g4outdoors I didn't bother trying to fight the crowd at the lake this weekend. My neighbor and I did take the 10' Pelican up to a CA pond on Friday though. We kept 47 crappie. Caught about 60 or 70 and had a blast. I think with the weather cooling down and the water temp slowly getting lower, the crappie at the lake should really turn back on.
As you have a 2 stroke u need to do next to nothing. Run it out of fuel and grease all the nipples and put a cover on it. Job done.
that's cool and all but how to you drain the oil from the top reservoir
Good job!
Is there a reason you can’t fill it from the top thanks
If you fill from the top, the oil is too thick and has a good chance of creating an air pocket and not getting filled all the way. Filling from the bottom up ensures that the oil gets properly filled.
@@g4outdoors Thanks for your help buddy
That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard about grabbing on the fish lol
Love the video man
Do your bother topping up the oil via the top plug once you've lost a bit putting the lower plug in? Thanks for an informative video.
Nope. Just fill it up till it runs out and put the top plug in quick. Level with the hole is full, so if it’s running out when you put the plug in, you’re still good.
@@g4outdoors Thank you.
Could I hypothetically change the gear oil while the lower unit is not attached to the rest of the outboard?
Absolutely!
@@g4outdoors thanks a lot!!
Hey guys,
Does this pertain to the 150hp Mercury 2-stroke as well?
Is that just regular oil gear? Or oil for a two stroke engine?
How do I change the regular motor oil on the twostoke
I have screws in both sides of the motor, a Mercury 18hp 1982
Awesome video
OHHHHHH!
How often should that be done?
What type of oil do I use for 1973 40hp Mercury?
Flathead gives you more torque.
Does the motor need to be level?
How much oil ? What weight of oil ?
So how often do you need to replace it?
I would do it every winter when you winterize it just incase any water got in you don't want it to freeze and bust your lower unit! Talking from experience!
Lol.awesome shirt
Y’all are hilarious
Whats that pump thing called?
A gear case pump. A lower unit lube pump.
@@g4outdoors Do they fit all outboard? I have a 2006 mecury 75hp 2stroke and need changing my gear oil.
@@dionuku1661 they are mostly “universal”. Plan on a little mess lol.
Where did ya get that pump?
You can get one at any auto parts store.
What about engine oil
This motor is a 2 stroke. The oil goes in the fuel tank or the reservoir on the motor. No engine oil to change.
The driver drinks 10w30 while they drive the boat.
@@g4outdoors you've got to add the oil (TC-W3) to gas, right? And the oil to the leg you added in this video is 10w30, correct?
The spluge exploder 3000 😅😂
What if you got some water in there?
Check your water pump housing for corrosion
Not a bolt it's a screw
Awesome, thanks
