Stator Assembly Lubricant
Draining Lubricant
NOTE: When draining stator lubricant, visually check for water in the lubricant. It may have settled to the bottom and will drain
before the lubricant, or it may have mixed with the lubricant giving it a milky color. In either case, have the stator checked by your
authorized Mercury Marine dealer. Water in the lubricant can cause premature bearing failure or, in freezing weather, damage to
the stator.
