TOPIC: Lower Unit Grease Quanitity?

Lower Unit Grease Quanitity? 5 years 2 months ago #141233

Hi

Although the manual for my Merc 500 (1599010) lower unit says:

Inject EXTRA DUTY lubricant into gear case until excess lubricant starts to flow out of air vent screw hole

It gives no indication of the quantity required. How many tubes should I purchase?

Many thanks

I don't remember right off hand, but I would buy 2 to make sure. Whatever you don't use now can be used in the future to check for water, ect.

Its Murphys law. If you buy one, it will need more. If you buy two, one will work. Gotta take that chance!
