Thanks for the video. Gonna be doing this for the first time soon. Hit my prop yesterday so figure I might as well do this and perhaps the impeller while I’m at it.
Great video (reduce the music volume....leave the station alone)...! You make it look easy....! Never saw the impact screw driver like that so now I have one...Thanks...!
I'm sure you are fine at that level. I usually have a little leak back out too... but you have to be the judge. You could replace the washers... but I change my oil fairly often (since it's cheap) and don't notice an water leaking into the oil. And since my boat is trailered, I would also notice if any oil were leaking out.
I appreciate the video! I have not done this yet but I was wondering about the nylon washers. What is the specific size you use and where do you pick yours up? Thanks!
how offen do you think you have to change gear oil..? mine motor have runed 100 hours an im thinking about changeing the oil what do you think ? should i do it or not:)
Is it possible to replace the plugs with (of course) with the same sized threaded type only a type that s removed and replaced using a socket wrench? I had a Evinrude 175 back in '88 and changed the gear lube with a big flat blade screw-driver and it tightened down fine. Six months of heavy fishing later, I went to loosen the screws and I could not. I want to say impossible. I suppose the vibration from the running motor tightened it into oblivia! LOL! A socket would have done it! Thanks for the good vid! JEE.
The handheld impact driver is a great idea, until it's not. Using it to install the screw risks cracking the casing. I've seen the results and there is only the option of replacement at that point.
I'm having a hard time loosening the drain and fill screws--I used the impact screwdriver and the flat head tip bent--can you please advise me with suggestions to help in this matter.
Debbie Ngai You might try soaking it with some penetrating fluid and let it sit a few hours. The impact driver has to be turned in the correct direction before striking to ensure proper functioning otherwise you may be tightening it. The drain screw can be replaced, just be careful no to damage the lower unit. It might be time for some professional help. Good Luck.
I change the oil fairly often, so I just use 80/90 gear oil that I buy in larger quantities. Of course I have to recommend that you use the manufacturers suggested oil.
It's computer generated according to certain parameters I set... to avoid any copyright issues. Sucks that I can use better music. Although, this one has a nice twang to it! lol
I had a little leak back out when I screwed the drain plug back in, but when i stick a 2" piece of wire in the vent hole, there is new lube on the end, should I add some more? And don't you have to replace the washers on the drain plug/ Vent plug?
Daniel Scheer how you doing sir I do watch every single video that you have in relation with the Ocean Pro Johnson motor I do have the same one my question is how I can fix with my motor it just shut down by itself when I have it in high trottle it works beautiful but after I stop the motor for 10 - 50 minutes is very hard to start it up again, also the motor it. Shut off if it is in neutral position .if you can help me I will appreciate it thank you so much and keep making videos
homie thats jsut regular gear oil? not marine gear oil?!?!?!?!? I bought some master pro gear oil same weight 80w-90 gl5 but its not marine grade?!?! i'm scared to put it in my outboard!
I changed the lower unit oil in my evinrude 200 an the oil came out looking like a vanilla milk shake...what could be my problem an how to fix it myelf...thanks.
+Tyler Brunson I would wait a few months of use and change it again. If it looks like oil, you should be ok. If it's milky again, you might have some bad seals allowing water to mix with the oil usually at the prop shaft.
after you have pumped the oil in, refit the top screw and then...tilt the motor before removing the pump. saves the oil leaking out as much. thanks for the great video too...(hate the sound though)
@@benlewis1959 that's what I have heard but maybe if you filled it slow and spun the prop it would be fine. In the end I anyways found a pump to fill it from the bottom.
Shouldn't use the impact driver, outs not necessary and could cause damage. If you tilt the motor up before taking out the oil fill line, a little less will drain out while you reinstall the lower plug.
Now I have very very minimal knowledge about this and assuming this is the way you’re doing that it’s correct.. now how come you can’t fill it from the top part so when you remove the pump, no oil spills out from the bottom.. ? Seems like more logical way to do it lol
Just my opinion but, the impact driver is a bad idea. Totally overkill. You're just gonna damage the screws and wind up with PITA or expensive repair. The impact driver is a last resort in the tool box.
you obviously dont understand how an impact driver works to remove a tight screw that has a slot that is oversized to any large flat head you can buy, for my trim tilt screw i had to cut a piece of stainless bar stock and use a wrench to spin it.. flat head screws are just a bad bad idea on any engine application period.
Ryan Pearce has to do with the inner workings trapping air top down traps more air. I was shown a bigger Yam that actually burnt out its lower unit due to a top down fill. It may work if you know exactly the amount required for oil but is the air is trapped and won’t allow the oil in then you just have more headaches.
Great tutorial...gave me the confidence I needed to do this myself. No more trips to the mechanic for such a simple task!
Thanks for the video. Gonna be doing this for the first time soon. Hit my prop yesterday so figure I might as well do this and perhaps the impeller while I’m at it.
I was expecting it to be a lot harder than what it really was, nice vid !
Thank you. I like your calm clear approach and the music keeps it going. Appreciate it!
Great video (reduce the music volume....leave the station alone)...! You make it look easy....! Never saw the impact screw driver like that so now I have one...Thanks...!
Love that “Dukes of Hazzard” type music! Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you very much for sharing this video!! Very helpful especially for me as a first time boater!!!....GOD BLESS!!..
Good video .What propeller you using in the boat .thank you
Sounds like the music from The Dukes of Hazzard!!

Thanks!
Well I never knew you fill from the bottom,....THANK you for this video VERY GOOD.
I have same Johnson 90hp motor, I noticed oil was dripping from the propeller sides. What can be the issue?
how offen do you think you have to change gear oil..? mine motor have runed 100 hours an im thinking about changeing the oil what do you think ? should i do it or not:)
nice vid , thx .......** where did you buy / find the Screw in adapter connector ??
I’m a first time boat owner. Great video. Looks like you could cool down after all that work
I liked the music
I can also hear you clearly
😁👌
What if a bunch drains out trying to out the bottom plug in. Can you too it up from the top?
Is it possible to replace the plugs with (of course) with the same sized threaded type only a type that s removed and replaced using a socket wrench?

Thanks for this. Gonna change mine today!
I change the oil fairly often, so I just use 80/90 gear oil that I buy in larger quantities. Of course I have to recommend that you use the manufacturers suggested oil.
I have a little 6hp yamaha would 80w90 be safe to use instead of that over priced marine 90w
Can I ask why you didn’t just fill from the upper hole?
Yours is listed first, and I see why. Thanks for the video. Never thought about an impact driver for the screw. Great point to make. Thanks again!!!
Great video thank you sir!! Only suggestion I have is very hard to hear you over the music. Maybe use a mic or keep the music off.
It's computer generated according to certain parameters I set... to avoid any copyright issues. Sucks that I can use better music. Although, this one has a nice twang to it! lol
I have a Mercury 2005 50xl salt water motor, what kind of oil do I use?
I had a little leak back out when I screwed the drain plug back in, but when i stick a 2" piece of wire in the vent hole, there is new lube on the end, should I add some more? And don't you have to replace the washers on the drain plug/ Vent plug?
Where do you get the in pac screwdriver? I need one. And thanks for the video
Harbor freight
Where did you purchase the pump?
I can't unscrew my bottom screw, is it ok to fill the oil from the top hole?
U can’t, u have to have them both open and fill from bottom due to vacuum
WHat is the middle hex/allen screw for?
Thanks your video is gonna save me a lot of money!
I've seen people fill it from the top instead of the bottom. Not sure if it makes a difference.
g force he had no idea
Leave your comments or questions here!

Where did you pick up the pump?
After I fill my I trim up with bottle still attached. Still spills some but way easier for me! Got to get me one of those power drivers
Called Impact Driver.
homie thats jsut regular gear oil? not marine gear oil?!?!?!?!? I bought some master pro gear oil same weight 80w-90 gl5 but its not marine grade?!?! i'm scared to put it in my outboard!
For what I understand non marine gear oil will foam if it encounters water or humidity and foamy oils are not good.
that's what I figured nice crocks!! Dig your tunes bro
I changed the lower unit oil in my evinrude 200 an the oil came out looking like a vanilla milk shake...what could be my problem an how to fix it myelf...thanks.
+Tyler Brunson I would wait a few months of use and change it again. If it looks like oil, you should be ok. If it's milky again, you might have some bad seals allowing water to mix with the oil usually at the prop shaft.
Okay..I do appreciate it..do you have a video on how to change that seal in the prop?
You probably have a broken seal near your prop milk looking oil means it got mixed with water
I like this piece of background music, but it's distracting when I'm trying to listen to what you're saying. Otherwise, good video of the procedure.
Cool Video,,very informative plus an extra Bug flying around.
thanks you made it simple. Good job.
Great video and will save me some cash by doing it myself ,,,thanks mate.
Thanks man good video very helpful 👍
great video . cheers! from Germany
after you have pumped the oil in, refit the top screw and then...tilt the motor before removing the pump.
saves the oil leaking out as much.
thanks for the great video too...(hate the sound though)
Yes it is... now it's April and getting warm again!
Is that a 2 stroke?
Great video, easy to understand. Thank you
This video does the job ,Thanx man .
Why can't you refill from the top hole?
Thanks brother!👊🏼
Liked the Music. Good Job.
tks....looks easy enough....
It's like a dukes of hazard episode with the background music...
Does anyone know if it's fine to fill the gear oil from the top vent?
No. The oil is so thick air will get trapped and will not fill all the way.
@@benlewis1959 that's what I have heard but maybe if you filled it slow and spun the prop it would be fine. In the end I anyways found a pump to fill it from the bottom.
Shouldn't use the impact driver, outs not necessary and could cause damage. If you tilt the motor up before taking out the oil fill line, a little less will drain out while you reinstall the lower plug.
This helped a ton. Thanks.

If you fill from the top there is nowhere for the air to escape.
Do you want to do it the logical way or the correct way?
does it have to be a marine gear oil? or is regular gear oil ok?
no shit... same question i have... probly better to be safe then sorry. but should 80w-90 be the same? im not sureeee
First thing I'd do is replace that drain screw with a stainless hex bolt.
1 would that seal
2 would that create eddy currents in the water and cause cavitation/ventilation style issues?
btw, can you buy one of those impact hammer tool at Harbor Freight tools? I
If you pull the motor I might check out the hull .
Please turn down the music so i can hear what you say
Your the man!!
That allows the air to escape, since the oil is thick. If you fill from the bottom you would likely end up with air pockets and underfill the unit.
AWESOME...we just made our how to video.
great video
very good,looking for that kind of pump
Thanks Daniel, Good vid but I agree with, kill that annoying music in the background.
Why can’t you fill from the top?
Oil would go straight out the bottom... Need two screws for oil out/in & air in/out ;-) (At least until someone invents a vacuum solution.)
just fuckin sweatin from 2 plugs bahahahah
Thank you!
nice video, music fits too!!
Should NEVER remove the bottom plug until you are able to loosen the top plug.
Crank the tunes. F the haters.
whats the background music??
Maybe you need to pump more to get out all the bubbles oil coming from the inside....just say
Why cant you just fill it from the top? Thats kind of a fuckaround. I dont get it, if you just do it slow it'll burp the air out will it not?
Or heat up the oil so it flows in better?
It removed trapped air. It's for gears in a tight area lots of area to trap air
Thank you really
Pivot pin install lower unit removed by mistake 1998 out board 35 hp Johnson
Wtf did you just get out of that unit?!
There is lu oil sopposed to be in there, no motor oil...
Just my opinion but, the impact driver is a bad idea. Totally overkill. You're just gonna damage the screws and wind up with PITA or expensive repair. The impact driver is a last resort in the tool box.

it is fine to undo the screw but a bad idea to tighten it up with the impact driver
I put 10w 30 castroll gtx in mine.
I'm not saying that will break it, but gear oil is different from engine oil. It has to prevent metal on metal contact at much higher pressure.
i like bug at 1:00
Seems like it's ass backwards by filling it from the bottom???
You fill it from the bottom because you need the air to vent out of the top. If you tried to do it opposite you wouldn't be able to pump oil into it.
Matt's Shop well said Matt some people just don't get it . Great video
You can lose that silly music actually!
Lift the motor then pull the full line
Thanks! :)
How did i get here
I filled mine from the top 😬
Step 1. Sit ups
Thx for the help #FishOnSaltwaterAdventures UA-cam show thx u . Check us out a variety channel something for all
My Lord that music is annoying.
Turn off that stupid music i can barely focus on what you're saying.
Why can't you fill from the top?
Ryan Pearce has to do with the inner workings trapping air top down traps more air. I was shown a bigger Yam that actually burnt out its lower unit due to a top down fill. It may work if you know exactly the amount required for oil but is the air is trapped and won’t allow the oil in then you just have more headaches.
he mentioned filling from the bottom forces the air out of the oil system
