SERVICING YOUR HONDA OUTBOARD MOTOR
GEAR OIL LEVEL CHECK
Check the oil level when the motor is in the vertical position. Remove the level
plug and see if oil flows out.
If no oil flows out, use a commercially available oil pump or squeeze tube to
fill the gear case with gear oil recommended on page 45. Pump or squeeze
fresh oil through the OIL DRAIN plug hole until oil begins flowing out through
the OIL LEVEL plug hole.
If there is water in the oil, the water will flow out first when the drain plug is
removed, or the oil will be a milky color. If water is detected in the oil, the
outboard motor should be inspected by an authorized Honda marine dealer.
