Propeller Shaft
Debris from the water can become lodged around
propeller shaft. Frequent inspection can minimize
potential gearcase damage.

Inspect bushing and blade surfaces. Replace
damaged or worn propellers.

seals. Replace damaged or worn seals.
Apply

Gearcase Lubricant
Draining
IMPORTANT:
Always check the fill level of the
gearcase lubricant at the upper plug before
removing the lower, drain/fill plug. A tie strap can
be used to check lubricant level.
Remove the lubricant level plug, then the lubricant
drain/fill plug, and drain the lube from the gear-
case into a container.
Inspection
Inspect the lube and the magnets on the plugs for
metal chips. The presence of metal
fuzz
can indi-
cate normal wear of the gears, bearings, or shafts
within the gearcase. Metal
chips
can indicate
extensive internal damage.
WARNING
When servicing the propeller, always shift
the outboard to NEUTRAL, turn the key
switch OFF, and disconnect the battery
cables at the battery.
WARNING
Gearcase lubricant may be under pressure
and/or hot. If plug is removed from a
recently operated outboard, take precau-
tions to avoid injury.
