Good video, right level.of detail without wasting time. I am repowering a Dusky 25.5 Center console with these engines . I saw your comments on engine hours and zero issues.. What props, performance and fuel economy do you get ? Thanks

Excellent video, just what I was looking i noticed that you used a draining hose in the lower unit the engine has a hose in the upper unit. do you know the use for this upper hose? thank you
Hello Nacho. I use a hose to help drain the oil from the engine into a bucket. The lower unit is drained directly into a container. A small pump and hose is used to fill the lower unit. Hope this helps! Thanks, Capt. O
@@CaptOrlandoMuniz thank you for the answer i was referring to the water hose when the engine is running out of the water. i saw that you used it in the lower part and i was wondering what the entrance hose from the upper part was for once again, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Ok. The upper hose is for flushing without running the engine. If you’re running it the water needs to enter via the lower unit or the impeller will burn up.
3000? That’s awesome! I have a Merc 150 I use on a rental boat, coming up on 1300 hours, glad to know it’s going to last much longer! Did you replace because it was time due to maintenance issues? Or did you replace just because. I guess I’m asking if you thought they had another 1,000 hours in them.
@@CaptOrlandoMuniz never said it was wrong, just not correct. U have a dozen other things to do. Anodes ,compressions , fuel water separator, gas filter etc etc. I’m surprised a lot of engines are lasting as long with key points being missed. Over heating is a big one....because of salt build up in areas not checked by diyers. However, still a good job .
Gotcha. I put 100 hours on pretty quickly so I don’t always check or replace some of those things but they all get replaced as needed. Maybe I should have mentioned that. ✌️
Very, very well done. I appreciate you taking the time to make it - you're an excellent teacher.
Thank You! 👍
incredibly informative, appreciate the time you took putting this together!

I run Mercury Mirage 3 blade props . Cruise at roughly 30 mph @ 4000 rpm’s.
2 MPG. Tops out in the mid 40’s
@CaptOrlandoMuniz thanks Captain!

Can you do video on spark plug replacement please?
I plan to do that next time I swap them out.
Thanks, Capt. O
Excellent and clear
Thank You! 👍
Great topic
Thanks Bud! 💪
I noticed you put 25w-40 instead of the 10w-30? is that ok for warranty?
Yes, I’ve always used it. Pretty sure it is what they recommend for these particular engines. Also, it is synthetic. Tight Lines, Capt. O
Thank you. What size tube to drain oil ?
I don’t remember the exact diameter but it’s either 1/2 or 5/8”.
Like how u explain it very easy to follow god bless u from rob
Thank You! 👍👍👍
What size prop you running there bud?
I don’t remember off the top of my head. Maybe 19 x 13 Mercury Mirage
What is size is the drain tube ?
I believe it is 1/2” and the fitting is 9/16”.
Thanks, Capt. O
And how many hrs on your mercury 150??
200 on this new set. 3000+ on the last set. 💪
@@CaptOrlandoMuniz bad dude i just got myself a merc 150

@@kadenengle9385 Yeap. Great engines. Very happy with the new set too!
How do those 150 s run
I love them! Got more than 3000 hours on my last pair and sold them still running strong. About 600 the current pair and 0 issues.
That’s not a correct 100 service. But, I guess diyers do the way they want.
😂😂😂 Sold my last set with 3000+ hours and they’re still running. I think I’ll keep doing it this way. (Even if it’s wrong)
