great video! thanks. my drain screw would not budge. had to dig out the good ol' manual impact screw extractor/driver the one you hit with a hammer. It is a life saver at times! in case some of you may not know what tool I am talking about.
Hey Jim, I think he may be referencing the engine oil change. I did a video on that too. th-cam.com/video/LEIf11Ex8Go/w-d-xo.html Good luck, let me know if you have any questions! -Marc
Both lower units ....One is a 2 stroke and the other is a 4 stroke have 2 change holes....Pump from the bottom and when the top bleeds you tighten the top and replace the bottom plug.....I assume Suzuki has the same layout!!
@@BlueLines50 They’re fairly rare here in Texas. This size is simple to maintain and affordable to run. The Boston Whaler brand has much to do with it too. They’re known for durability & reliability.
Only takes a quart or less?
Correct - maybe half?
@@fishing4dinner thank you 👍🏻
My 50 HP is 12 ounces

Excellent tip! Thanks for sharing
Another great video, just wanted to say thanks
You’re welcome. Thank you for the kind words!
You are an excellent mechanic my friend. Planning to upload super shout out today.
You’re too kind!
Thank you so much.
You’re welcome. Appreciate the feedback 🤙🏼
Great informative video Marc.
Thank you!
Added 25th as well.
I have this same motor. Is this the only oil that is changed in the motor, my mechanic said "oil change" is this what he is talking about. Thanks!
Jim

Both my Yamy's are about the same for lower unit changes!!
These little engines are just so easy to maintain.
Do your yams have 2 vent holes like this? Can’t say I’ve seen that b4

Yes the Suz 300 has drain/fill on bottom and 1 vent up top but this Merc 40 has a drain/fill at bottom but 2 vents up top.
Look again at 1:55 and 3:02
Nice work Mark, dang how many boats do you own 👍
2 at the moment but this Whaler is such a head turner at the lake - I’m not sure it’ll last much longer. Strangers keep making me offers
@@fishing4dinner I don’t know much about boats but it sounds like they are interested in that one for a reason 👍

@@fishing4dinner is that a boat for bay fishing or is it capable of going out shore or both
@@BlueLines50 Bay. It’s most popular as a dingy or tender…short distances
