    Injecting lower gear oil in lower unit

    I used to have a Merc 225EFI and was able every winter to drain the lower unit and refill with new gear oil with a little pump set up that had a white plastic fitted insert for the lower drain hole and a pump handle to place on top of the gear oil quart. I now have a 250 HPDI and the same white fitting plug does not fit into the lower drain hole on a Yammie - anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Larry from PA

    Had the same problem. I took the guts out of an ink, put the hose on one end and put the pointed end in the LU and filled her up.

    Yamaha uses a different size fitting for the lower unit.I got one at my dealer and it works great with the pump.
