- Attach the pump assembly to a fresh bottle of manufacturer-recommended lower unit gear lubricant.
- Connect the pump's flexible fill tube to the adapter installed in the gearcase.
- Pump the new lubricant into the lower unit until a steady stream of new oil flows out from the upper vent hole.
- Keep pressure on the pump and reinstall the upper vent screw to create a vacuum seal.
- Quickly remove the fill tube and adapter from the bottom hole and reinstall the lower drain/fill screw.
- Tighten both screws to the manufacturer’s specified torque. Do not overtighten.
- Clean any excess lubricant from the gearcase exterior and dispose of the old oil properly.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Will this pump fit my specific engine?
This pump is designed for broad compatibility with Mercury, MerCruiser, Yamaha, Honda, and Suzuki lower units. It includes 3/8", 8mm, and 10mm adapters to fit the most common drain plug sizes. Please verify your engine's drain plug size before purchase. Note: It is not compatible with Volvo Penta models.
How do I know which adapter to use?
The kit includes multiple adapters to fit common drain plug threads. Gently test-fit the adapters by hand into your lower unit's drain plug opening to find the correct size before attaching the pump assembly.
The pump isn't drawing oil from the bottle. What's wrong?
First, ensure the suction tube is securely attached and fully submerged in the gear oil. Check that the pump's cap is screwed tightly onto the quart bottle to create a proper seal, as any air leak will prevent it from priming. Finally, confirm there are no cracks in the pump housing or tubes.
What is the difference between this pump and an OEM version?
This aftermarket pump is engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, function, and material quality but is offered at a more accessible price. It is built for reliable performance and includes multiple adapters for wide utility across different brands.
How much oil does this pump move per stroke?
This pump is rated to deliver approximately 8 cubic centimeters (cc) of fluid per full, steady stroke. This allows for controlled and efficient filling without creating air pockets.
Can this pump be used for other fluids like engine oil?
This pump is specifically designed for filling lower unit gearcases with marine-grade gear lubricant, which is typically a high-viscosity oil. It is not recommended for use with engine oil, gasoline, solvents, or other volatile chemicals.
