How to: 40/50/60 HP 4 Stroke Mercury Outboard 100 Hour Service All in One Video!

Fall is the best time to service your Mercury Outboard Motor on your Bass Tracker Heritage / Classic XL. In this video I'll cover the Main Engine, Lower Unit Oil Changes, Fuel Filter as well as the Steering Lubrication. A time and money saving DIY. Thanks for watching!

Watched this video again before doing all these maintenance tasks. I like that you put all the part-ordering screenshots on too.

Good info, I have the 2019 classic with 40ish hours on last change going to hold off till spring. I like the way your boat sits in garage with protective walls around the engine.

[@stephansmithoutdoors]

Thanks for the comment!.. Yes, there used to be a water softener there.. Perfect little recess area for backing the boat into and leaving room for walking around the front when the garage door is down.

Nice video and great background music. Not too loud. I’m about to preform my first oil change so I’m watching lots of videos and your video is precise and to the point. Thanks.

Do you ever pull the plugs and spray fogging oil in the cylinders

[@stephansmithoutdoors]

Nope..

[@Southerncracker224]

Why did you fill it from the bottom? Full it from the top until it comes out that way you don't lose oil.. you don't fill oil from the bottom of your car do you? Then try to get the plug in real quick before it pours out?

[@stephansmithoutdoors]

Filling your gear lube (not oil like a car) from the bottom is the standard. As I explained it is to push out any air, as air rises to the top. Thanks for watching and commenting and wish you well if deciding to fill from the top instead 👍

@@Southerncracker224 I appreciate your comments.. Thank you! I truly try to be thorough and accurate as I'm using my own rigs that I rely upon for my fishing endeavors.
