Huge help I just started as a parts manager here in Florida in Sarasota and I really appreciate all the videos they're invaluable and more useful than any video I've ever seen on this platform
Very nice. I finally found a video the actually teaches me something about something. Every other channel is about selling something with only pointing out the obvious.
thank you - any chance you could consider showing the basic steps+using the "setting plate concept" to setting/inserting the correct shims to take up the pinion+F+R gear for optimum tolerances, good clear explanation - watched from South Africa
I've always been automotive-oriented. My wife and I inherited a 1963 Starcraft a couple years ago with a 1994 Johnson 48 SPL. After a comprehensive online boating class, we became boaters. I'm trying to get up to speed on outboards, particularly in regards to routine maintenance. This video was VERY educational. Outstanding presentation.
Installing new lower unit on a Yamaha 70etlh 1986 having trouble with shifter going in reverse on in forward very quickly. The shifter is in natural and the lower unit is also in natural what am I missing with the reverse problem
I don’t understand how people dislike these informational videos?? Some people just hate their life. I think it’s a great video,keep up the great work and content 👍🏼🙏
Thank you for this informative video! The cut away leg is brilliant👍🏻 It explains visually how a gearbox works and operates I recently bought a boat with very old unknown twin stern drives and twin 1.8 diesel Ford engines- so far I have found that engine 1. Crankshaft turns with prop In drive. engine 2. Crankshaft seized but prop in Neutral and turns! Both stern drive gear levers are stuck so do you think I’m looking at a loss or a project worth investing in? Are stern drives gears easy to unsieze? Thanks in advance for any advice
Great video that explains the seal points and the maintenance. I would be comfortable replacing the 6 seal point seals on the lower unit. Certainly replacing the water pump. Thanks.
Extremely clear. Well done video. Would be good to know variances from freshwater to salt for seals etc given environmental factors for maintenance schedules.
Before watching this, I barely knew the word lower unit meant. Now I feel like I could confidently tear a lower unit apart. Also am now able to diagnose many problems.
Brilliant information, my engine wasn’t going forward, just into neutral and reverse, took the gearbox apart n fixed what I thought was the problem but after assembling it back it now goes into neutral and forward but not reverse, I’m starting to think it may be something todo with the shift shaft?
Great video, so I have replaced the impeller and now when I put it back together I cannot select the forward/reverse neutral properly from the control. I have selected neutral and put the lower unit back together but when I then try and select the gears via the controller it will go from neutral the reverse and back to neutral but not into forward. I did not touch the gear selector when I replaced the impeller and it was all good before the impeller change. It s a good engine in tip top condition and been well maintained and also not thrashed as it was a sailing club engine that a won in a sealed bid auction.
Great job very clear video and voice.my Yamaha 115 four stroke 2002 model has a whining noise when travelling about 15-20 kmh noise goes away at higher speeds.otherwise motor runs perfect,can you suggest anything thanks!
Profesional that is all o can say!!!! I have a 2002 Yamaha 225 4 stroke,they replaced the seals twice already and still talking water!it’s worth to keep spending money on it ?or is better just to get a new one…?
Such a great video for a novice like me! I hit a stump recently with my Merc 90 - and I have a little water leaking out just above where my Transom saver holds the motor - If there's no water in my gear lube I should be able to JB Weld that spot right?
Great video but I need help with gear alignment. Just replaced water pump and cant get the drive shaft back up into the power head. Ive put the gear shifter in forward and turned the gear selector on the lower unit to what I think is forward but im not sure
I have an 2012 Evinrude E75DPLINC. It is clunking in the lower unit when in forward and reverse, but doesn't clunk when in neutral. What would be the likely culprit.
I could use your advice, my brother in law doesn’t do maintenance on his Honda 90 horse outboard I believe it’s around 2015 or 16 the lower unit filled up with water over a period of time when he was using it evidently and he let it sit over the winter and if it froze, you know what ice dose to a lower unit? Well, the ice broke the tabs off the housing of the carrier bearing housing retainer I got it back together and putting all new parts in I cannot get it to shift into forward. It does shift into reverse and work that way no I don’t know what else that ice could’ve done maybe there was more damage than I assumed you got any ideas give me a holler appreciate thank you
Got water in my gear box, looks like it's coming from the prop seal , will replacing the seals correct the problem and fix the knocking ,or is that more likely the shifter and throttle cables needing adjusting.
Hello i am trying to put my prop shaft and gear assembly back together how can i tell when the gear selector at the back of housing is in the neutral position it is a 60 hp 4 stroke yamaha cheers Darryl
Hi there can you guy's make a video or explain how the gearcase system of clockwise and anti clockwise works,does the gears differ between clockwise and anti clockwise will much appreciate it
My lower unit came out of the winter, a particularly cold winter, with a crack, 3-4 inches long running horizontally about the same height as the prop shaft. Can I fix it w JP weld to keep the oil in, or is it messed up inside as well and the o ring seal will never hold out the water ???
Can the shift dog actually kick out of gear ? I have noticed that I had a clicking. Noise it the shift box under load and you could kind of tell the boat would slow for just a instant I got a new boat this year and put my old motor on it the clicking is still there but now it is like a clutch is slipping also about the time it comes up on plane if I shift it to neutral and back in gear it will start pulling again until it does it again. I don’t know if it’s the lower witch still has the clic or if it’s the. Prop spinning thanks for any help
As a novice boater, this was an amazingly useful video. Very well explained.
I am a marine engineer and I learns too much good knowledges from your channel. Thank you so much.

This was fantastic.
Great video, so I have replaced the impeller and now when I put it back together I cannot select the forward/reverse neutral properly from the control.

Hi.
My 09 etec 150 has about 1/2" up, down and 2" wobble which I noticed when checking water pump. Your thoughts
Got water in my gear box, looks like it's coming from the prop seal , will replacing the seals correct the problem and fix the knocking ,or is that more likely the shifter and throttle cables needing adjusting.
You failed to mention the sealing washers on the vent and fill plugs can allow water entry.
NICE JOB WELL SPOKEN

great video!
Not really grinding noise but more of a clunking noise when engaged in either forward or reverse. Any diagnosis is appreciated
I enjoy your video's....I would like to know if the gearbox drive shaft must be shimmed? Must the drive shaft have a play up and down ?
great vid
