Outdrive maintenance

Zerts, huh? What kind of a name is that? I like nipple better. images/icons/wink.gif

Thanks Mike, I'll check that out. images/icons/smile.gif

Roy - the cad has the 300 ponies images/icons/cool.gif to pull with, but it is front wheel drive, and with them off the ground from the rear weight, I don't think I'd get to far images/icons/shocked.gif!

Hey folks!

Another boat question - What kind of maintenance is necessary on an old outdrive? Should the oil be changed, and at what interval? I have been lubing where possible through the grease nipples (not sure what those little teets are technically referred to as).

Anyhooo, thanks for any replies. images/icons/smile.gif

Pete I think they are called Zerts.

Are you pulling the boat with the new Caddie? images/icons/wink.gif images/icons/tongue.gif

Hi Petermac,
If you want to find out answers to just about any boat question that has ever been asked, try WWW.boatered.com. (http://WWW.boatered.com.)
That sight is an unbelievable wealth of boating info, though it is based on the east coast and aluminum boats and sleds seem to be curiosities out there.
Oh yeah, if you use their search engine, be sure to target one specific forum, or the server will time out on ya! You'll see what I mean when you are there!
