    Again another informative video!! i have a 2017 Mercury 150 4 stroke with almost 400 hrs. I do a complete service every 100hrs ! me personally find this engine the easiest to do, for the price of all mercury parts and oil (minus the thermostat its the most expensive cause the housing comes with it) . then when the service is finished i spray the entire engine with a fogging oil to protect everything from the salt! it looks and runs the same as the day i bought it new! some of my friends say im wasting money doing everything at 100 hrs, me well that puts me more involved and hands on! Ive been all over the central east coast of fl and the keys with this boat and yet to find a parts house 30 miles off shore!

    No oil on the dipstick? First loosen the oil fill cap, then recheck. If cold, sealed system can vacuum down level on the dipstick tube/dipstick. Unscrewing the fill cap allows the pressure to equalize.

    Thanks for a great video, learning about lower unit seals. Re oil changes, to be kind to the engine, I like to prefill the oil filter with the new oil and pull the fuel pump fuse and crank engine to pre lube the engine after an oil change. On yamahas, the fuel pump fuse is lableled but typically top right 20A fuse.

    Thank you for the video . I am far from an expert here but for me the new merc 150 is probably the easiest to service . I serviced my daughters 150 and did not spill a drop of oil either from the filter or the drain tube . The filter has a catch basin which I thought was pretty damn cool . Also Merc has put everything on line . I don't know what the dealers thing of that though . Just an observation here on my Mariner 75 hp I was told not to put grease on the top of the drive shaft when replacing the lower end but to just put it on the splines . Something about causing a hydraulic lock . Is that true ??

    • @BornAgainBoating
      @BornAgainBoating  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, just the splines, because if you put it on the top, then it will stop the drives haft from going all the way to the top and youll develop a bunch of grease in he crank and it can create a larger load on the drives haft bearings over time. So just hit the splines :)

    Marine tech here again, I tend to prefer to use an oil extractor on the older yamahas, I've seen some where previous owner had done his own oil change, cross threaded the drain plug and it was leaking, upon removing the drain plug, it cracked a piece off the oil Pan, we had to remove the entire power head, disassemble the mid section and remove and replace the oil pan. It sucked

    Another great video. I would like to ask you and all of your viewers for some advice. I’m nearing retirement (within the next few years). I’m a HVAC tech so my pockets aren’t that deep. I want to make the switch from a bass boat to a blue water boat. Meaning I want to be able to go out to where the big fish live off the South Carolina coast. What would be your and your viewers recommendations as to the boat and motor size that I would need to fish like I want? I can’t afford anything new. Anything I buy would have to be at least 10 years old so as to fit my budget. Any all advice would be appreciated. Thanks again.

    • @BornAgainBoating
      @BornAgainBoating  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd say to look at boats around 24-28 ft. They're big enough to give you more options of being safer when storms pop up and easier to fish. For a nice cheaper boat, look into Dusky. They ride great and aren't over priced.

    @jonathane984 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Is it a common thing in outboards to "make oil"? You mentioned the yamaha oil level was high. I'm assuming it's because the thermostat was stuck open not allowing the engine to heat up properly.

    • @bsrktm1
      @bsrktm1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It isn't "making oil" from a stuck open thermostat. Someone just put too much oil in it. Likely put a full quart in it when it only needed a half quart etc. The oil level would only go up otherwise if it had water or fuel in it. The oil wasn't milky so no water in it. Fuel diluting the oil makes the oil very thin and generally you can smell the gas in it. That open thermostat isn't as much of a factor here in South Florida because its usually warm/hot here.

    • @BornAgainBoating
      @BornAgainBoating  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, depending on the brands. Mainly certain Yamaha's "make oil" but it's really just pushing fuel into the oil and that is why it is high. Those F115's never really had that problem though, so someone probably just over filled it on this engine :)

    • @BornAgainBoating
      @BornAgainBoating  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depends on your usage, if you only need 1 service a year, you can do it at the end, you want to do some checks before storing the boat, seeing your talking about a season, you probably have to deal with freezing temperatures, so you don't want to have say water in your gearcase over the winter, so checking that is a must at the end of season.
      But at the same time, now you are just having the oil and stuff sit over winter, not really like it makes a difference honestly, whether the parts are sitting on a shelf in a store or on your engine, just that now they are outside in the elements opposed to in a temp controlled store lol
      I would probably lean towards the end of the season, depending on the usage and how long the off season is.

    Is it normal for an engine to lose oil but not an alarming amount within my 100hr interval I have lost maybe 1qt of oil! I run my yamaha 250 at about 4-5000 rpm for long day voyages! When I did my service it was at the half way point and now its right under the low mark! I have also been watching it drop because I check before every trip, but I wanted to really see if it was losing it fast or to me it seems normal?

    Is it possible to convert a Yamaha four stroke f9.9 to 15hp by swapping the reed valve from a 15hp motor to let more air in?
    I heard it could be done, but I'm concerned about timing, air/fuel mixture not being the same with the reed valve from the 15hp motor..

    As with all my 4, 6 and 8 cylinder Car Motors I'll introduce a half liter of premium engine oil to a gasoline fill up.
    I'd even consider a small bottle of Ames Oil in a 4 stroke Outboard (inboard/outboard too) when doing a gas fill up.
    a fouled set of spark plus in a lot cheaper.
    Just look at the size of that 4 stroke outboard engine Oil Filter?
    4000 rpm for sustained running is a lot of wear and tear.

      Not sure, I haven't had time to spend reaching out to companies for the prizes and then doing the contests :/

    I have owned Mercs since 1962, people think outboards last forever, with good maintence, fresh fuel and Merc oil they will, funny when people throw off on a brand and never service, and then it quits.

    One of the most important things to do is flushing the engine properly

    Just a nit-pick: They don’t all require an oil filter. For example I believe Suzuki doesn’t use an oil filter until the DF8. 2.5/4/6 all use a screen that can be cleaned, but no filter.

    Don't think you used quite enough grease bud, I can still see the parts.

    Fairly simple procedures they just have to be done. Too many people neglect the simple service positions and pay the price later

    Bro, please use petroleum resistant disposable gloves. Used motor oil and gasoline are absorbed through the skin and are EXTREMELY harmful!☠
