    175 proxs 2011 questions for Don

    Don I changed my lower end lube this weekend. Notice 2 things diff from last merc. 150 efi
    1) drain/fill plugs now have yellow plastic seal, are those reusable? or do they need to be replaced each service like the blue crush washers?
    2) the lower fill plug does not have a magnitc , just a flat plug like the top? is that correct?
    thanks

    1) The yellow drain/vent plug seals CAN be re-used if they are in good condition. If you need replacements, they're Part# 830749.

    2) Correct- no magnet.

    Use ONLY Mercury or Quicksilver HIGH PERFORMANCE Gear Lube.
