Also make sure your turning the fly wheel in the correct rotation. This will make sure the impeller doesn’t get messed up when install the alternator belt. Use a little dish soap on the impeller and housing . it’s makes it super easy to install. Great DIY video.

Great video! Concise yet informative. I hate when guys ramble for 5 minutes before showing the actual maintenance lol.

I appreciate it!

Very well done sir!!!! Easy to follow along, video quality excellent. 30 mins. may seem like a long video to watch but it covered all aspects of a 300 hour service concisely. Getting the back hose off the fuel separator is a biatch and I know you could not show it due to the tight space and need for two hands. Do you have any tips?

I think you did an awesome job of explaining the entire process and every step! I like how you showed the maintenance decal and walked everyone through each step on what's needed. Removing the lower unit and doing the water pump, you did a great job of explaining. You mentioned that was your "300 hour service" that you did at 248 hrs. How many times have you replaced your water pump impellor so far? It sure looked brand new when you pulled it out. It's always peace of mind to change it anyway, and to make sure the lower unit doesn't get stuck in place either. Overall awesome video! Thank you so much for taking the time and posting this!

good to know!

One other question, how do you check engines hours? I have a 2022 Ranger Angler 2080 with a Merc 250hp Pro XS 4 stroke.

I have this mercury engine and i cant break loose the nut...im guesiing its over torqued ...any suggestions

Parts list? I’m trying to find a 300hr service kit for my 250proxs with a sport master lower but the only kits I see are for a torpedo lower. Any help would be awesome, thank you!!

Whats the best thing to use for a DIY lower unit stand?

I just used scrap pieces of 2x4. I believe I had to make the top slot where the lower rests on like 7.5" wide which was wide enough to fit it in but also small enough to hold it.

Where do you get that flywheel tool?

When you put your gear lube back in your case isn't leaving the motor trimmed up putting too much lube back in the unit or does it matter how the motor sits when the oil starts to come back out ?

Good question, it doesn’t matter either way it fills the lower with the proper amount of lube. With the top whole vented it lets out any excess that it doesn’t need.
