● If a magnetic gear oil drain screw is
equipped, remove all metal particles from
the screw before installing it.
● Always use new gaskets. Do not reuse the
removed gaskets.
4. Remove the oil level plug and gasket to
allow the oil to drain completely.
NOTICE: Inspect the used oil after it
has been drained. If the oil is milky,
water is getting into the gear case
which can cause gear damage. Con-
sult a Yamaha dealer for repair of the
lower unit seals.
