how do u remove the lower uint on an outboard motor?
Depends on the outboard. Some Johnson/Evinrudes required that the powerhead (engine) be removed first for example. Look for a service manual for your particular motor on ebay, and it will tell you all you need to know to avoid problems.
How do I remove the lower unit from my 1984 50 hp. Mercury outboard motor?
Depends where the water (ie coolant) intake is
Never mind I figured it out
It is easy...remove the lower unit..about 5 bolts. If you want to see this done YouTube it...a lot of good videos for DIY.
I use 80 weight gear oil.
No
It is a speedometer pick up tube.no longer used due to clogging.
No, the lower unit from an 85 hp Force outboard motor will not fit a 125 hp Force outboard motor. Lower units are typically designed specifically for each engine model and may have different gear ratios, bolt patterns, and dimensions. It's best to match the lower unit with the correct engine model for proper fit and performance.
If the horsepower of your Mercury outboard lower unit is 75 and below, SAE 80W90 Gear Lube is recommended.
The water pump is inbetween the lower unit and the motor . Remove the lower unit with 6 bolts and u will see it.
The water pump on an outboard motor is located low down on the skeg. To replace it, you have to remove the lower unit. The impeller water pump is a housing attached to the upper unit, surrounding the shaft. It must be replaced exactly right, so obtaining a proper servicing manual is strongly recommended.
It is actually very simple hire a mechanic.
