Very nice. I finally found a video the actually teaches me something about something. Every other channel is about selling something with only pointing out the obvious.
thank you - any chance you could consider showing the basic steps+using the "setting plate concept" to setting/inserting the correct shims to take up the pinion+F+R gear for optimum tolerances, good clear explanation - watched from South Africa
I've always been automotive-oriented. My wife and I inherited a 1963 Starcraft a couple years ago with a 1994 Johnson 48 SPL. After a comprehensive online boating class, we became boaters. I'm trying to get up to speed on outboards, particularly in regards to routine maintenance. This video was VERY educational. Outstanding presentation.
Installing new lower unit on a Yamaha 70etlh 1986 having trouble with shifter going in reverse on in forward very quickly. The shifter is in natural and the lower unit is also in natural what am I missing with the reverse problem
Thank you for this informative video! The cut away leg is brilliant👍🏻 It explains visually how a gearbox works and operates I recently bought a boat with very old unknown twin stern drives and twin 1.8 diesel Ford engines- so far I have found that engine 1. Crankshaft turns with prop In drive. engine 2. Crankshaft seized but prop in Neutral and turns! Both stern drive gear levers are stuck so do you think I’m looking at a loss or a project worth investing in? Are stern drives gears easy to unsieze? Thanks in advance for any advice
I don’t understand how people dislike these informational videos?? Some people just hate their life. I think it’s a great video,keep up the great work and content 👍🏼🙏
Extremely clear. Well done video. Would be good to know variances from freshwater to salt for seals etc given environmental factors for maintenance schedules.
Before watching this, I barely knew the word lower unit meant. Now I feel like I could confidently tear a lower unit apart. Also am now able to diagnose many problems.
Great video, so I have replaced the impeller and now when I put it back together I cannot select the forward/reverse neutral properly from the control. I have selected neutral and put the lower unit back together but when I then try and select the gears via the controller it will go from neutral the reverse and back to neutral but not into forward. I did not touch the gear selector when I replaced the impeller and it was all good before the impeller change. It s a good engine in tip top condition and been well maintained and also not thrashed as it was a sailing club engine that a won in a sealed bid auction.
Brilliant information, my engine wasn’t going forward, just into neutral and reverse, took the gearbox apart n fixed what I thought was the problem but after assembling it back it now goes into neutral and forward but not reverse, I’m starting to think it may be something todo with the shift shaft?
Profesional that is all o can say!!!! I have a 2002 Yamaha 225 4 stroke,they replaced the seals twice already and still talking water!it’s worth to keep spending money on it ?or is better just to get a new one…?
Great video but I need help with gear alignment. Just replaced water pump and cant get the drive shaft back up into the power head. Ive put the gear shifter in forward and turned the gear selector on the lower unit to what I think is forward but im not sure
Out board shifts fine and runs at lower rpm fine but as rpm’s rise, there seems to be slippage and humming noise. Could both dog and forward gear be worn?
What could cause play in the lower unit road, about an inch or so? Shift and throttle cables are adjusted but are not able to solve the issue of shifting smoothly. I was told by boat mechanic that there is play in the lower unit but he doesnt have time to look into.it
Hello i am trying to put my prop shaft and gear assembly back together how can i tell when the gear selector at the back of housing is in the neutral position it is a 60 hp 4 stroke yamaha cheers Darryl
My lower unit came out of the winter, a particularly cold winter, with a crack, 3-4 inches long running horizontally about the same height as the prop shaft. Can I fix it w JP weld to keep the oil in, or is it messed up inside as well and the o ring seal will never hold out the water ???
Can someone explain the bearings? not really explained or shown in the video. If you have saltwater/brown oil inside are the bearing rollers, thrusts the only things you need to replace aside from seals?
Changing my gear oil in my 1997 Yamaha 40hp 2stroke. Started pumping oil back in looking for oil level and I have gear oil leaking out of the water pickups.???
I am stuck. Alpha One, Mercruiser...lower unit. Project is Replace PropShaft, old one is twisted. My problem: Cant figure out how to get the Prop Shaft out. Do i need to get hold of the nut down near the gears? relase the nut then everything comes out? Everything else seemed simple.
I could use your advice, my brother in law doesn’t do maintenance on his Honda 90 horse outboard I believe it’s around 2015 or 16 the lower unit filled up with water over a period of time when he was using it evidently and he let it sit over the winter and if it froze, you know what ice dose to a lower unit? Well, the ice broke the tabs off the housing of the carrier bearing housing retainer I got it back together and putting all new parts in I cannot get it to shift into forward. It does shift into reverse and work that way no I don’t know what else that ice could’ve done maybe there was more damage than I assumed you got any ideas give me a holler appreciate thank you
How to service them, how to overhauling , how to modify the gear , and how to install the engines on the boat. What are the products and parts, I want to know etch and every single things because i have a interview... Please
Can the shift dog actually kick out of gear ? I have noticed that I had a clicking. Noise it the shift box under load and you could kind of tell the boat would slow for just a instant I got a new boat this year and put my old motor on it the clicking is still there but now it is like a clutch is slipping also about the time it comes up on plane if I shift it to neutral and back in gear it will start pulling again until it does it again. I don’t know if it’s the lower witch still has the clic or if it’s the. Prop spinning thanks for any help
As a novice boater, this was an amazingly useful video. Very well explained.
I am a marine engineer and I learns too much good knowledges from your channel. Thank you so much.
Very nice. I finally found a video the actually teaches me something about something. Every other channel is about selling something with only pointing out the obvious.
RUclipss the place to go
Very detailed n thorough! Thanks I love the way you have the areas cut out so I can easily see n understand all working parts. Awesome!
thank you - any chance you could consider showing the basic steps+using the "setting plate concept" to setting/inserting the correct shims to take up the pinion+F+R gear for optimum tolerances, good clear explanation - watched from South Africa
Awesome demo. Keep up the good work

Great video, so I have replaced the impeller and now when I put it back together I cannot select the forward/reverse neutral properly from the control. I have selected neutral and put the lower unit back together but when I then try and select the gears via the controller it will go from neutral the reverse and back to

maintained and also not thrashed as it was a sailing club engine that a won in a sealed bid auction.
Could you please show the replacement of the lock plate in the side control for a 2010, 60hp 4 stroke Yamaha. Hoping you can assist ... Bob
There’s not many videos on 80’s Mercury lower units tower of powers
Very good information.
Yall are Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Brilliant information, my engine wasn’t going forward, just into neutral and reverse, took the gearbox apart n fixed what I thought was the problem but after assembling it back it now goes into neutral and forward but not reverse, I’m starting to think it may be something todo with the shift shaft?
Profesional that is all o can say!!!!
I have a 2002 Yamaha 225 4 stroke,they replaced the seals twice already and still talking water!it’s worth to keep spending money on it ?or is better just to get a new one…?
Very informative
NICE JOB WELL SPOKEN
Any tips on removing middle drive shaft housing thingy on a 9.9. Lower unit came off/apart easy. Seriously siezed together.
Very good video, Garrett is a very good teacher.
Some say reverse because it leaves the pin in slope of cam shift. If left in neutral it's necessary to bump start it. ??
Do a cutaway video on a lower case unit gearbox for a counter rotate(Left handed propeller) outboard engine please
Not really grinding noise but more of a clunking noise when engaged in either forward or reverse. Any diagnosis is appreciated
Is this accent is from Texas? He reminds me of a character 'Georgie Cooper' from the series Young Sheldon.
Great video but I need help with gear alignment. Just replaced water pump and cant get the drive shaft back up into the power head. Ive put the gear shifter in forward and turned the gear selector on the lower unit to what I think is forward but im not sure
Can we get a video with a jet drive?
Out board shifts fine and runs at lower rpm fine but as rpm’s rise, there seems to be slippage and humming noise. Could both dog and forward gear be worn?
any idea how a newly installed prop shaft can move in and out by a 1/4 inch after it was replaced?
My Yamaha 2011 175hp, I bent my prop shaft.With the bearing housing out can I pull the prop shaft out and preplace with a new one ?
If you were to replace the original damaged gearset with new gearset would you need to re shim?
What could cause play in the lower unit road, about an inch or so? Shift and throttle cables are adjusted but are not able to solve the issue of shifting smoothly. I was told by boat mechanic that there is play in the lower unit but he doesnt have time to look into.it
Really great explanation of the system. Thank you.
Hello I’d to know how can I see the difference between a gearbox what rotate to the left and other what rotate to right
Hello i am trying to put my prop shaft and gear assembly back together how can i tell when the gear selector at the back of housing is in the neutral position it is a 60 hp 4 stroke yamaha cheers Darryl
How do you put the gear in neutral with the lower unit off? The shift rod is not catching, spinning freely. Please advise asap, ty
When is there too much slop when engaging forward or reverse?
My lower unit came out of the winter, a particularly cold winter, with a crack, 3-4 inches long running horizontally about the same height as the prop shaft. Can I fix it w JP weld to keep the oil in, or is it messed up inside as well and the o ring seal will never hold out the water ???

My man! I lowered my unit to change the impeller and I'm stuck in forward position. Nothing happens when I turn the shift shaft. What is going on?
Changing my gear oil in my 1997 Yamaha 40hp 2stroke. Started pumping oil back in looking for oil level and I have gear oil leaking out of the water pickups.???
Wow. Great video and explanation showing the different components and functions! Thank you
