Changeing Lower Unit Lube

[ozzie]

Is there anything I should worry about if I drained my lower unit tonight and then went north and came back and finished the job on Sunday? My thought is it is warm right now and the lube will drain better but I am in a hurry so I don't want to wait around for it to completely drain to refill it so I thought I would do that Sunday...Am I putting my motor in jeopardy with the freezing temps coming and having no lube in the lower unit?

NO

agreed..no. But, don't forget to put it in sometime before use of boat. Helps to do it while warmer.

thanks guys!! I couldn't think of any danger in doing it this way...at least I can get the lube out while it is warm and then put in warm lube when it is cold.....

Just so you don't forget, put your ignition key in an envelope and make a note to yourself.

nope I wouldn't forget...I came back on that Sunday and filled the unit back up and put it away for the season..almost brought it back out but decided against it. Thanks for all the replies!!!
