Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Drain the old gear lube completely.
  2. Carefully unbolt and remove the old lower unit from the engine housing.
  3. It is critical to install a new water pump kit (sold separately) onto the new lower unit.
  4. Install a new anode kit (sold separately) to protect against corrosion.
  5. Align the driveshaft and shift shaft, then bolt the new lower unit securely to the engine.
  6. Fill the gearcase with fresh, high-quality marine gear lube according to manufacturer specifications before starting the engine.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Will this fit my Yamaha 250 HP 4-stroke?

No, this unit is specifically designed for Yamaha 76° V6 2-Stroke 3.1L & 3.2L engines from 1990–2005. It is not compatible with 4-stroke models.

Does this come pre-filled with gear lube?

No, the lower unit is shipped dry to prevent leaks during transit. You must fill it with the correct type and amount of gear lube before operation. We recommend the 88-102-01K Gear Lube and Pump Kit.

What are the signs my lower unit is failing?

Common signs include excessive vibration, grinding noises from the gearcase, difficulty or inability to shift gears, a milky or metallic appearance in the gear lube, or visible damage to the housing, skeg, or prop shaft.

What maintenance is required for this lower unit?

We recommend changing the gear lube and inspecting the water pump impeller annually or every 100 hours of use. You should also regularly inspect the anode and replace it when it is 50% corroded to protect the unit.

Is the water pump included with this assembly?

A water pump kit is not included. For reliability and to protect your warranty, we strongly recommend installing a new Water Pump Kit with Housing (part #96-416-01AK) when you install the new lower unit.
