    Don't do that on me man. It says for high performance outboards, commercial fleet and stern drives. It doesn't say a word about electric shift. Like what the back of the bottle they advertised said. I'm gonna take it to one of the boat shops tomorrow and find out. He'll the picture on the oil I...

    Hey Jimmbo! This may be a dumb question but would it be beneficial to drain that bad oil and maybe fill it with something (alcohol) or something else maybe to get the rest of that bad oil out drain it and let it set and dry with plugs out before refilling with the good oil. Just a thought. Your...

    That helped alot racerone. Forward and reverse shift spring correct. Problem is could be corroded and need cleaning and possibly light sanding on the side the engages with the electro magnet. Am I correct on this assumption? Also im thinking by me putting the wrong lower unit oil in it could...

    Thats pretty neat. Thanks for the video. One more question. How much oil does the lower unit take. I just fill from the bottom hole until it comes out the top hole. Doesnt appear to be very much. Maybe a cup full. Does that sound right?

    I ordered it from Harvard marine. It Evinrude/Johnson premium blend. It was about 27 bucks a quart and specifies for electric shift motors. Are you familiar with this oil? Did I get the right stuff? Did I do any damage by putting the wrong oil in? It ran fine for a little while and then...

    At first i put the normal lower unit oil but after some reading i found out that is requires a special blend for the ekectric shift. I had a bottle that was in the boat when i got it but theres no telling how old the oil is. I drained the wrong oil and replaced it with the old oil that came with...
