No oil on the dipstick? First loosen the oil fill cap, then recheck. If cold, sealed system can vacuum down level on the dipstick tube/dipstick. Unscrewing the fill cap allows the pressure to equalize.

Thanks for a great video, learning about lower unit seals. Re oil changes, to be kind to the engine, I like to prefill the oil filter with the new oil and pull the fuel pump fuse and crank engine to pre lube the engine after an oil change. On yamahas, the fuel pump fuse is lableled but typically top right 20A fuse.

Again another informative video!! i have a 2017 Mercury 150 4 stroke with almost 400 hrs. I do a complete service every 100hrs ! me personally find this engine the easiest to do, for the price of all mercury parts and oil (minus the thermostat its the most expensive cause the housing comes with it) . then when the service is finished i spray the entire engine with a fogging oil to protect everything from the salt! it looks and runs the same as the day i bought it new! some of my friends say im wasting money doing everything at 100 hrs, me well that puts me more involved and hands on! Ive been all over the central east coast of fl and the keys with this boat and yet to find a parts house 30 miles off shore!

Thank you for the video . I am far from an expert here but for me the new merc 150 is probably the easiest to service . I serviced my daughters 150 and did not spill a drop of oil either from the filter or the drain tube . The filter has a catch basin which I thought was pretty damn cool . Also Merc has put everything on line . I don't know what the dealers thing of that though . Just an observation here on my Mariner 75 hp I was told not to put grease on the top of the drive shaft when replacing the lower end but to just put it on the splines . Something about causing a hydraulic lock . Is that true ??
@BornAgainBoating
@BornAgainBoating 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, just the splines, because if you put it on the top, then it will stop the drives haft from going all the way to the top and youll develop a bunch of grease in he crank and it can create a larger load on the drives haft bearings over time. So just hit the splines :)

Hello, my question is unrelated to this video but I was wondering if you could help. I've searched high and low, but everyone has a different saying on this.. maybe you know.. Is it possible to convert a Yamaha four stroke f9.9 to 15hp by swapping the reed valve from a 15hp motor to let more air in? I heard it could be done, but I'm concerned about timing, air/fuel mixture not being the same with the reed valve from the 15hp motor.. Oh btw.. I'm in South FL and your channel is awesome!

Another great video. I would like to ask you and all of your viewers for some advice. I’m nearing retirement (within the next few years). I’m a HVAC tech so my pockets aren’t that deep. I want to make the switch from a bass boat to a blue water boat. Meaning I want to be able to go out to where the big fish live off the South Carolina coast. What would be your and your viewers recommendations as to the boat and motor size that I would need to fish like I want? I can’t afford anything new. Anything I buy would have to be at least 10 years old so as to fit my budget. Any all advice would be appreciated. Thanks again.

I'd say to look at boats around 24-28 ft. They're big enough to give you more options of being safer when storms pop up and easier to fish. For a nice cheaper boat, look into Dusky. They ride great and aren't over priced.

Is it a common thing in outboards to "make oil"? You mentioned the yamaha oil level was high. I'm assuming it's because the thermostat was stuck open not allowing the engine to heat up properly.
@bsrktm1
@bsrktm1 3 жыл бұрын
It isn't "making oil" from a stuck open thermostat. Someone just put too much oil in it. Likely put a full quart in it when it only needed a half quart etc. The oil level would only go up otherwise if it had water or fuel in it. The oil wasn't milky so no water in it. Fuel diluting the oil makes the oil very thin and generally you can smell the gas in it. That open thermostat isn't as much of a factor here in South Florida because its usually warm/hot here.
@BornAgainBoating
@BornAgainBoating 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, depending on the brands. Mainly certain Yamaha's "make oil" but it's really just pushing fuel into the oil and that is why it is high. Those F115's never really had that problem though, so someone probably just over filled it on this engine :)

@BornAgainBoating
@BornAgainBoating 3 жыл бұрын
They don't really have a specific time or hour to replace the belt at. They just say to inspect it every 100 hours and then if it has cracks, or is rotting, swollen, rough, or moves more than about 10 mm when you press in on it with your finger, then you need to replace it. You might not need to, but just inspect it with every service and then once you get closer to say 1,000 hours, go ahead and replace it just because it will be like 15 years old and almost 1,000 hours on it :)

Just a nit-pick: They don’t all require an oil filter. For example I believe Suzuki doesn’t use an oil filter until the DF8. 2.5/4/6 all use a screen that can be cleaned, but no filter.

Is it normal for an engine to lose oil but not an alarming amount within my 100hr interval I have lost maybe 1qt of oil! I run my yamaha 250 at about 4-5000 rpm for long day voyages! When I did my service it was at the half way point and now its right under the low mark! I have also been watching it drop because I check before every trip, but I wanted to really see if it was losing it fast or to me it seems normal? I’m a diesel tech and it is normal in my opinion!

Um, lol, I wouldn't call it normal necessarily, but possible yes, what year is the engine? It could be signs of the oil pump failing and youll have to pull the powerhead and do a speedi sleeve. Do you ever see an oil sheen in the water? If not, don't worry about it and just keep an eye on it :)

Each model is different. some have a gasket, some just have the o-ring on the thermstat for the gasket. You'll have to look at your engine to see whether it has one or not.

Piston Ring Connecting Rods and Bearings (Valves) cost a fortune not to mention engine failure Downtime. As with all my 4, 6 and 8 cylinder Car Motors I'll introduce a half liter of premium engine oil to a gasoline fill up. I'd even consider a small bottle of Ames Oil in a 4 stroke Outboard (inboard/outboard too) when doing a gas fill up. a fouled set of spark plus in a lot cheaper. Just look at the size of that 4 stroke outboard engine Oil Filter? 4000 rpm for sustained running is a lot of wear and tear.
