You can use merc hi-viscocity gear lube for that motor. The 105 is for the really old non shift motors.

What motor do you have? horsepower/model number?

From the factory they were coverd with rubber and stapled to a cardboard backing by the terminals. That part unfortunetly went NLA back in the ninetys and there are two different switches, one for electrc shift and one for hydroelectric shift so when searching for a used one I would suggest finding ...

Do you offer the same service for boats Andreas, because you do beautiful work too! LOL Shaun

I will have to go and get it from my fathers house where all my papers are, so have patience and I will send it. Shaun

I have installed water seperators in many boats with outboards back in the mid 90s when RFG(reformulated gas) was forced into this area. OMC sent us a service bulletin saying it was ok to use, suggesting the use of ethanol over MTBE or methanol due to the corrosive nature of the latter. The big prob...

There is nothing wrong with plastic boats, I just figured they would last longer than mine did. My wood boat has less problems than the plastic one. P.S. Can anyone tell me why a couple of my posts have been deleted lately?
