I made a new fiting that screws into the drive to fill that is a good 2" longer and knurled.
Biggest pain was always trying to screw/unscrew that short original adapter with oily hands.

So much better.

Having fun. Freshening up the drive, trans and engine now; should be a good year next year :drink:

Excellent !!

i use amsoils gear lube pump with a steel end to screw into the merc and i do about 40 drive oil changes a yr in customers boats and have it in a one gallon jug, ive used it for 3 yrs. its good for a 1 liter, 1 galon or 2.5 gallon jug and only about 15 bucks for the pump

Show a picture please!

Heres the one I made last season. Pump was about $13 at Home Depot. I placed an allen head bolt (head is knurled from the manufacturer) in my lathe and drilled the hole thru it, then tapped the end and screwed in a short nipple. The other quick disconnect pieces are easily found at hardware stores. :drink:

Very similar to tinmans.
Biggest improvement that can be made on any of these gearlube change kits is to have a long fitting.

I built one similiar [but not as nice! lol]

Just wondering where you guys got the "longer" fitting, I cant find one locally.

I was also considering using some form of "coupler" so that I could use mine to fill other stuff that took gear oil like differentials, etc. But, I decided it would be a good idea not to contaminate the oil for the outdrive with other forms of oil.

Let me know where you get the longer fitting, Thanks!

So does the "Flo-Master" make cool BBC exhaust sounds while you fill your drives? :coolcowboy:
