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.

For a Mercury outboard motor's lower unit, it's essential to use a high-quality marine gear oil specifically designed for outboard motors, such as Mercury High-Performance Gear Lube or an equivalent. These lubricants offer excellent protection against corrosion, water intrusion, and wear under high-stress conditions. Always check the owner's manual for the specific type and viscosity recommended for your particular model.
In order to correctly answer this question, the particular engine referred to must be made known.
For a Johnson outboard, the lower unit typically requires a high-quality marine gear oil rather than grease. It's essential to use a product specifically designed for outboard lower units, such as 80W-90 or 75W-90 gear oil, depending on the manufacturer's specifications. Always consult the owner's manual for the correct type and viscosity to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the lower unit.
According to the 1998 Mercury Villager Owner Guide ( 5W-30 ) is the preferred oil
Yes, liquid mercury does float in water because it is denser than water. This means that the weight of the mercury displaces an equal weight of water, causing it to float on the surface.
I don't know where to find the diagram, but one wire from the button goes to the stator brown lead, (at terminal block under flywheel). The other lead from stop button, goes to ground.
There are too many variables here to give you a solid answer, but my 21 foot Santana Sail Boat (weight approx: 1600lbs) goes 8-10mph.
Adjust or change the cable that goes from the shifter to the transmission or engine, unless it is an outboard, and then I am not sure. On the outboard, as already mentioned, check the shift cable first. If no problems are observed, the the problem is most likely in the gearcase. If the gearcase has been removed, it is also possible that the shiftshaft is not properly, or at all, engaged with the lower shiftshaft. Should the above checks prove ok, then worn gears, clutch, or internal gearcase damage is probable.
