Mercruiser Outdrive Maintenance

In this video I remove the upper and lower half of the outdrive to replace the impellor. I also check over the entire unit and share with you some of the items you should give some additional attention too while you are serviceing your mercruiser outdrive.
No Product links for this video- The reason is there are multiple versions of the mercruiser outdrive in addition to the parts changing over the years. Always double check you part numbers with a dealer or other credible sources.

I've had Fishing boats all my life ,,, But Never and Inboard/outboard ! because I'm 61 now,, and more into lettingmy grandkids and wife enjoy ,,, I bought a Deck boat ,,, and it's a 2001 model with a 3.0l Mercrusier 135 hp. I think and after a few trips ,,, it's running hot ,,, but I think it was my fault for Cranking it and it trimmed all the way up and taking a few before I realized it ! I'm a pretty good Mechanic , sooo I've got a Impeller Coming ! already got the Foot oil, grease,,, Oil filter and engine oil, New bilge pump and Inline blower for the Fumes thermostat,,, etc ! ,,, I'm gonna try to spen a couple days on it , soo I'll know it's good to go and done right ! Love your channel ,,, and yes I subscribed !

Learn from my mistakes when you buy your impeller pump, buy three of them put them in your garage put them in the cupboard. Don’t worry that they’re there. The next thing is never use grease that’s not marine or girly bad idea I know.

Why do you separate the lower unit? I found that guiding that back up can damage the lower upper case shaft seal. I disassemble it after the complete drive is removed.

And one more thing for anybody that reads this if you can work on your lawnmower or your car, you can work on a MerCruiser they’re not that complicated. They try to tell you they are but they’re really not. There’s nothing to you there. They are simple mechanics take a bolt out put a bolt back
