An engine oil-and-filter service is a straightforward, do-it-yourself project for the owner of a Mercury 150 FourStroke outboard. Mercury engineers designed this versatile motor to be easy for the owner to maintain, and in this video Scott Glorvigen of Wired2Fish and the Lund Boats Pro...
Sometimes the simplest maintenance procedures are the easiest to overlook. For some boaters, that’s the case with greasing the prop shaft and applying grease to engine fittings that require it. To make those jobs even simpler, Quicksilver offers two helpful tools. The first is premium Quicksilver...
High-performance two-stroke snowmobile engines lead demanding lives. These potent powerplants are expected to start in sub-zero cold, lug through wet spring snow and endure a 10-mile wide-open blast across a frozen lake, all while delivering reliable performance through radical changes in elevation and temperature. Using...
The lower unit gear lubricant in most outboard motors and sterndrives should be changed annually, or every 100 hours. For many boat owners changing the gear lube is part of an annual service performed before winter or off-season lay-up, along with an engine oil-and-filter change for four-stroke outboards and sterndrives. Changing the lubricant is a pretty easy task for the do-it-yourself boat owner.
In this how-to video, Scott Glorvigen of Wired2Fish and the Lund Boats Pro Staff demonstrates how to change the gearcase lube in a Mercury Pro Kicker outboard, and the procedure is the same for most outboards and sterndrives. Check your owner’s manual for instructions specific to your motor or drive.

When it’s time for off-season storage, don’t forget to give your kicker outboard a little love, in the form of an oil and filter change. Because auxiliary outboards spend most of their life at idle or very low rpm, it is common for condensation to...

Your two-stroke marine engine is a hard-working machine. You ask it run under heavy load at wide-open throttle for extended periods, a duty cycle that could destroy an automotive engine. Even more challenging for two-stroke marine engines are extended periods of operation at low speeds,...
