For the Mercury 9.8 110 lower end unit, it's recommended to use a high-quality gear lubricant specifically designed for marine applications. Typically, a 90-weight gear oil, such as Mercury Gear Lube or an equivalent marine gear oil, is suitable. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and any updates on lubrication requirements.
You don't put motor oil in a lower unit. Get a few tubes of lower unitgear lube from a marine supply dealer and a device to squirt it in. Remove the screws at the top and the bottom. Drain the old lube out. squeeze the new lube in from the bottom till it comes out the top, then re install the screws. Do this at the end of every boating season.
Change upper and lower ball joints the factory ball joints have no fitting for lube. The aftermarket one do
Look at the rear lower end of the engine
The temperature in a Mercury-based thermometer is read by the level of Mercury found in the thermometer. As Mercury heats up, it expands, therefore raising the level of the Mercury of which we see as a higher temperature. On the other end, as the temperature falls, the Mercury contracts and reads at a lower temperature.
Stay away from Jiffy Lube or any other chain lube shop. Take your car to a trusted mechanic or the new car dealer for service. You will in the end know it was done right by a trained mechanic and will not get ripped off.

Usually on the lower end of the engine follow the + battery cable to the solenoid and then to the starter
Look at the lower rear end of the engine driver's side
I suspect that it would, but you can verify this by simply calling a local Mercury dealer and asking one of their professionals in the shop.
You will probably have to drop the lower end of the outboard. Its sound hard but really it is usually quite simple. The pump is nothing more than rubber impeller on a brass collet.
