Hey man, marine mechanic here, don't know if the laws are a lil different where you're at but here in south florida it is a very large fine if caught changing oil in or over water. Just shooting you a heads up. Also why did I just watch this whole video waiting for you to get to the prop shaft seals. The title of the video claims "prop shaft seals" but all you changed was a driveshaft seal...confusion.

Hello @peterlantier2265, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'll forward this to our video editing team and to Frank.

Can anyone tell me why water is leaking everywhere. Not sure if this is right. On a 75hp Yamaha 4 stroke. Squirting out all holes in the leg

[@opticalinch]

Seems like a great knowledgeable mechanic.

[@spencerkellerman1235]

Very helpful. I may have missed the part numbers but what where they? Thanks

[@partsvu]

[@gregandlindamorton6291]

Would your description of different motors also include a 130 Yamaha 2 stroke?

[@partsvu]

Great job. You saved me from buying a $60 dollar tool to remove the seal housing instead using two wrenches. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mikeallen3646]

will this be the same on a suzuki 150?
