Am I being too lazy? I should change the lube in my 200 Johnson OB, but it's in the marina and I don't want to haul it out just for that. I see there are a number of pumps available in the various marine catalogs, most of which seem designed for oil changes in 4-strokes. Any one had experience with these for gear lube? I'm not interested in polluting, so should I just bite the bullet and haul it out?

Thanks D. (sigh) I'll do what you suggested. I'm going to add the following to my name: If you don't want to hear the answer, don't ask the question....

Re: Changing gear oil

Hi Capt Mike<br />If you need to change gear oil. It must be annual haul out time any way. Whats the big deal? Its time to take care of lots of other maint. stuff also. Get it all taken care of at the same time. Pay now or pay later. I know, I'am no fun. Good luck.
