1st off let me start by saying thank you. Very intuitive step by step explanation that took a lot of fear out of doing it myself the first time. The only discrepancy I had was when you mentioned 5.2l of oil I just got the kit and they only game me 5L of oil for the engine it’s says in the instructions capacity is 5L as well (5.3 quarts) let me know your thoughts if you have time. Thanks again!
Might just be a different model year. Follow your manual. My volume is written directly on the front of my engine. If you aren't sure add in the 5L, let it site for a while and check the dipstick. If its low add a little more until its good. Glad i could help. Thanks for watching!
Nope called the dealer and they checked their book and it is indeed 5.2 liters like you previously stated don’t know why the kit only gives you 5L of oil very odd indeed
I haven’t changed my lower oil or engine oil for a few years, but I’m back at it and appreciate your video. Just curious if the nut for the prop has to be tightened to a certain torque. Thank you.
Thanks for your video it will help next time I winterize my 60hp Mercury. Might I suggest you use some cardboard to lay on the concrete and will keep you from staining your concrete.
Your video is awesome and easily the best step by step video I've seen in winterizing your boat motor. Only question I had is, do you "fog" your motor or is it necessary? I see some anglers do and some don't...
Hey thanks. I do not fog my 4 stroke. But i only really store it for the winter so max 6 months. If I was going to store it for a year or more I would probably fog it. Modern 4 strokes are so tight these days infiltration from moisture is likely very low risk. Thanks for watching.
Great video , nice commentary with step by step instructions. Where did you get the little grey thing that you screwed into the lower unit to add lower unit oil. I never saw anyone change those gaskets on the drain plugs . Where did you find them? Thanks.
Hi Brian, It could damage the internal seal. Only back it out 1-2 turns until oil starts coming out. There's a video on Mercury's website regarding this.
Picked up the parts from my local dealer. They assembled a kit for me....but i didn't get any discount for a package deal... bummer. Thanks for watching.
looks like your transducer is sitting a little too low on the right fyi. Mine is sitting up about an inch higher so that its not getting directly hit with water at full speed.
According to the Mercury manual on my 90 HP 4-stroke, the Oil Changing Procedure step 4 says "Attach a 12 mm (7/16 in.) I. D. drain hose to the oil drain valve." Not a 1/2 in. I. D. hose.
Thanks buddy!! This is the perfect video. Nice clean and to the point
All good, that was my aim. No bs'ing around, just DIY
Usually would pay for mine to be done because it's a 2022. So with this video I'm gonna do it myself. Thanks for the detailed video!
Heck ya! Save some cash! You got this.

Great detail video. I usually pay for my boat winterizing.
It's easy to do, save yourself the cash, and spend it on other stuff
Excellent video thank you
No problem! Hope it helped you save some cash

Something is telling me, you made it look too easy. Thank you for this video.
That's the magic of video! Thanks for watching.
That's so funny your comment!!!
Sadly true though
Nice job. Great video!!!

Hey. The pump and gaskets were available at my local dealer. They knew what I was asking for when I went and picked up the parts. Thanks for watching.
Do you Fog the Cylinders by removing the Spark Plugs ?
Yes you do. The manual explains the procedure.
Hi boss, I like your video very easy to understand. I have 90 hp CT mercury outboard. just wonder what size of your propeller for your boat?
well done , very through.
Great vidio! Thanks
Why did you have a greece gun and not use it?
Used it to grease the prop shaft before reassembling it. It's the only grease I had on hand. No zircs, just pumped it out and applied by hand.
the engine oil drain plug you attached the hose to, where can i find one? my 90hp doesnt not have one. thanks
The one you turn to open.? It came stock with my engine. Best to take a screen shot and ask your dealer
My 90hp 2010 efi has a standard drain plug bolt . Do you know the number on the bolt / tube adapter you have ? Much cleaner operation . Tha
Like the part number?? Or the size of tube. The tube is 1/2 ID
Part number . Not sure if I can just take out the old plug screw and replace it with that one or not .
What if I back the oil plug out completely…. It went back in fine. Anything I should worry about?
I would think its fine, but i'm not a mechanic, best to check with your dealer. Thanks for watching!

Whatever fits and doessn't leak will work perfectly. 1/2 is what i had.
