[@TomWallis-pw4wj]

Thank you! You saved me

[@johnw7610]

Worked like a charm on my G1 90Hp Etec

Did my 150HP Etec. Easy stuff.

Great video

You dont need to change lower unit gear oil?

@atlanticoutboard I have different gauges, does it matter or should I follow the same sequence? Thank you.

[@AtlanticOutboard]

Depends on what gauges. Let us know which ones we can try and help!

[@dginta7932]

Just asking... why not just hook a hose to the hose intake on the engine, like the manual says to do?

[@AtlanticOutboard]

In our experience it does not provide enough water to the water pump, thus causing the impeller to weaken and shorten it's usable life.

[@brentwilson2264]

Does what stay in the pump and power head? I live in northern Michigan. Don’t want water to freeze and crack everything.

[@dginta7932]

@@brentwilson2264 Just raise and lower the engine a few times and all remaining water will siphon out. I live in Canada where it goes down to -25C and never had any issues at all.

[@Tom19073]

Does it matter if the engine has been running before you do this? Also why remove the intake screens?

[@bobprice9705]

What does it mean when the side control button won’t allow me to go to full throttle neutral?

[@thor14141950]

Does this also fog the cylinders?

[@HydeTide]

yes

[@rjl8319]

Does it empty the system for fuel?
