Changing Gear case oil Yamaha 115 four stroke outboard

A couple of tips after watching this excellent video & doing my own. 1.) lower the tongue of trailer to raise the foot so your oil catchment system will be under foot 2.) install the pump straw and adapter in lower foot BEFORE you put pump in oil bottle. Makes it easier to thread as the hose will kink otherwise. 3.) draining takes longer than this video represents. While draining, open seal packaging and install your new seals onto screws in preparation for a quick install after new oil is pumped in. 4.) in the video you get a peek of him using channel locks on the screwdriver handle to break seal. You will likely need channel locks as well ! 5.) if you see white oil sludge when draining, this is an indicator of water and oil mix. 6.) use a bucket of water/dawn soap to wash off excess oil from lower. After cleaning lower, Remove pump from oil bottle & place in Dawn water mix and pump soapy water into oil catchment system to clean out pump for reuse.

Thanks you. Thank you. Thank you. Due to random circumstances I had to do this ALL BY MYSELF without having ever seen it done before. I couldn't have done it without you. You were so detailed and step by step without going "overboard" with excess narration. (PUN INTENDED)

Thanks for sharing. I’ll be dropping into my Yamaha dealer next time I’m near and grabbing one of those pumps plus the screw gaskets 😎

Always break the fill first, if the fill is stuck you still can use the motor , transmission etc while waiting for parts or planning how fix that issue.

Thank you. The color of gear lube wasn’t black liter engine oil. Is that the normal color? Mine looks the same color but I thought that means water in it? However sitting overnight didn’t separate so maybe that’s ok.

Thanks. Good info but I thought you put the plugs in backwards?

How much oil did take

[@robertsonfamilyadventures7082]

Sorry for the late reply, less than a quart

[@jessimithun6740]

On my yamaha 115 4 stroke, it was just under 32 oz (quart).

The gear oil looked milky, you might need new seals for that lower end
