Nice video--very helpful. One thing I've found useful is to use an extra 1/4-1/2 quart of oil to flush the old stuff out that doesn't drain on its own. I just pour in a little bit of fresh oil while the plug is still out--maybe count to three or four, and then stop. Then put the plug in. You'd be surprised what that little bit of fresh oil will flush out of there!
Page 99 and 100 of the owners manual regarding changing the oil filter states the following: "With the outboard in water or cooling flush hose connected, idle engine for 5 minutes to check for leaks at the oil filter" here is the link to the on-line manual
Hi, I have 2 Mercury Verado Engines 250 Hp each one. And I want to know the Oil Brand that you apply to your engines. I really appreciate your support. Thanks
My engine is 300 verado mercury and usually i used marin oil quick silver or mercury oil But now I can't find marin oil in my area What kind of oil i can use Thank you
@APXsniper Between the gear lube and oil once a year it should be $100 or less if you do it yourself. 7 quarts of Verado oil, filter and gear lube. Certainly cheaper than buying 2 stroke oil, especially if you put a lot of hours on per year. I change gear lube mid season and before winter. You don't want any water in the gear lube before you store, especially in cold climates.
i would like to re-visit czoubeks' comment on the flush hose. my dealer told me not to run the motor with just the flush hose hooked up. is that really ok to do that? great video, very thorough, thank you
Could you please give me the the make, model and specifications of the propeller on your 300hp verado? I bought a 2014 23Ft Proline sport, and the prop was stolen. And I dont know what size prop to replace it with..Can you or anyone else help me with this?
@@lancedockter9555 I dont think Walleyeworkshop is around any more no new videos in years my dealer says no use the cups only Walleye work shop are you guys still around ??????????
Sure you can! It doesn't hurt anything. There is water getting down to the impeller so it won't burn up. You definitely don't want to be revving the engine up on the hose though. That can burn up the impeller!

You did a very nice job explaining everything. Thanks so much.
how about the air filter right above the oil filter? Is that hard to change and or clean? Thanks

My motor is Verado 225 from 2015. Now it has around 1000 work hours.
On 100 hours motor spends 1,5 liters of oil, is that normal? Thanks
nice and simple good vid, on a new 300 verado, how many hours before you should change the oil?

I was told not to run the motor with just the flush hose hooked up. Is that safe for the motor?
I'm curious - did you get answer to this?

There's a good stream of water shooting out from the impellar; as long as that's the case you're fine.
You are correct the flush port is for when the motor is off
Nice job, thanks
Is synthetic oil OK?
John Echterhoff yes
you cant run the outbord engine on that hols that is a wash down hols for the engine

300 on a bass boat damn
That's a Deep V walleye boat, not a bass boat.
I have a Verado 200hp L4 and there is no drain plug there 🤷🏽♂️
Your drain plug will be on the port side as well and will be a 12MM plug! Lol
Kak zavisti
Nice Job! Thanks
