MerCruiser Bravo 1 Gearcase Oil Change | MerCruiser Bravo 1 Lower Unit Oil Change | Boats.net
See how to replace the gear lube in your Bravo One outdrive in this video from Boats.net.
This is an easy job, and you should replace the gear lube on your MerCruiser Bravo One once a year or every 100 hours. All you’ll need to do this is a flat head screwdriver, a pump, and the lube.
John will use the trailer switch here to get the gearcase up so it will be easier to drain. From there, he’ll open the check vent and the fill. Both of these screws have gaskets behind them, so make sure you keep track of them during this job. If you’re replacing the gaskets? Be sure to get the old ones out. Sometimes they don’t come out with the screw and you’ll need to dig them out.
Then, we’ll use a hand pump to get the fluid into the gearcase. It’s going to take around two and a half to three quarts, and you’ll know it’s full because you’ll start to see fluid come out of the vent at the top. From there, we’ll close everything back up.
Check out the pump and the lube we’re using here:

    John, would the stator malfunction under a load? I can't get my boat to go full speed and I've replaced or repaired everything having to do with the fuel system. It will idle fast and throttle full if I pull it out of the water, but with a load, Turtle speed. Yes my prop is new as well. Bought it all from you guys 😂

    Just rebuilt mine. Between these videos and the manual it was a piece of cake. Had to buy all the parts individually since you cant find the full kit anymore. Id suggest new 2 upper and 2 lower large mounting bolts with nuts. Had to cut my lowers because nuts and end of bolt were so far gone. Otherwise the parts list from the "kit" was spot on. My 2003's corroded through after 20 years and 1100 hours. Easily ready to go another 20 now!

    • @Acelachaser1965
      @Acelachaser1965 4 дні тому

      Especially for a boat trailer that goes in and out of the water all the time, water will still get into the grease over time and thin it out. Plus, that trailer is going to be sitting part of the year if you don’t use it all year-round so it’s not getting worked like a vehicle will. Grease sitting around from summer use to winter storage and back is not going to stay consistent.

    • @bkilpatr100
      @bkilpatr100 4 дні тому

      @@Acelachaser1965 I guess another way to look at it is the tires are typically smaller than the vehicle tires, so they have to spin a lot faster. My small trailer is about a three to one ratio. So if I'm doing 50 miles an hour, that means my trailer tires are doing 150 mi an hour. The heat from that would wear out the grease fast I take it.
