Installation Notes
- Ensure the engine is off and the sterndrive is trimmed to the full down position.
- Place a collection pan or absorbent cloth under the gear lube reservoir area to catch any spills.
- Carefully disconnect the old hose from the existing connector. It may be necessary to release a clamp.
- Press the release mechanism on the old quick-connector and detach it from the fitting.
- Inspect the hose end for any cracks or damage and trim if necessary.
- Firmly press the new quick-connector onto the reservoir fitting until it clicks into place.
- Securely attach the gear lube hose to the barb on the new connector, using a clamp if required.
- Top off the gear lube reservoir to the correct level as specified by your owner's manual.
- Cycle the trim up and down several times to purge any air from the system.
- Re-check the fluid level and inspect the new connector and hose for any leaks.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this connector fits my sterndrive?
The surest way is to match your engine model and serial number range with our compatibility table. MerCruiser often uses serial numbers instead of years for precise identification. Also, visually compare your old part to our photos.
What is the purpose of the quick-connect feature?
The quick-connect design allows for fast and tool-free attachment and detachment from the gear lube reservoir, simplifying service and inspection of the monitor system.
Can I use this connector for fuel lines?
No. This connector is specifically designed for low-pressure gear lube systems. It is not rated for the pressure or chemical composition of fuel and should never be used in a fuel system.
What are the signs my old connector is failing?
Common signs include visible cracks in the plastic, gear lube leaking from the connection point, a loose fit, or recurring low-lube alarms even after refilling the reservoir (indicating a leak in the system).
Does this part replace number 22-861150T02?
Yes, this is a direct cross-reference for MerCruiser part numbers 22-861150T02, 22-861163, and others listed in the Part Number Matrix. It offers the same fit and function.
How often should I inspect the gear lube hose and connectors?
It is good practice to visually inspect all gear lube hoses and connectors at the start of each season and during routine maintenance. Look for signs of aging, such as brittleness, cracks, or leaks.
