Great tutorial...gave me the confidence I needed to do this myself. No more trips to the mechanic for such a simple task!

[AnneED]

Thank you. I like your calm clear approach and the music keeps it going. Appreciate it!

Thanks for the video. Gonna be doing this for the first time soon. Hit my prop yesterday so figure I might as well do this and perhaps the impeller while I’m at it.

Yours is listed first, and I see why. Thanks for the video. Never thought about an impact driver for the screw. Great point to make. Thanks again!!!

I'm sure you are fine at that level. I usually have a little leak back out too... but you have to be the judge. You could replace the washers... but I change my oil fairly often (since it's cheap) and don't notice an water leaking into the oil. And since my boat is trailered, I would also notice if any oil were leaking out.

[DanielScheerHowTo]

I change the oil fairly often, so I just use 80/90 gear oil that I buy in larger quantities. Of course I have to recommend that you use the manufacturers suggested oil.

I’m a first time boat owner. Great video. Looks like you could cool down after all that work

[inzane]

[chromatophores]

I appreciate the video! I have not done this yet but I was wondering about the nylon washers. What is the specific size you use and where do you pick yours up?

Thanks!

[brandyharper]

It's computer generated according to certain parameters I set... to avoid any copyright issues. Sucks that I can use better music. Although, this one has a nice twang to it! lol
