I wanted to know if anyone knows how many tubes of marine gear oil are needed to fill my gearcase after i drain it for winterizing, should two tubes do it?

The dealer should have a chart that will tell how much you need. I am not in the shop right now to look at the chart, but it will depend on what V-4.

More info is needed,but the basic is,pump into the bottom until it comes out the top.<br /><br />The tube(s) work great if you have a small HP motor,and need only a few ounces.<br /><br />For my do-it -yourself customers,I suggest they buy the gallon oil jug,and the proper pump.Now they can hand pump the oil in,and not squeeze against gravity,loosing alot.Probably about $40.00 ?? (total purchase )<br /><br />Next year they only buy a quart or two of gearlube,to top up the gallon bottle.<br /><br />DHP

Mauilboy, Are you sure, i put 2 1/2 tubes in fluid started coming out of top hole.

That oil is sold in tubes, and plastic bottles. If you sqeezed it in the bottom, and it came out the top, it's full.

According to my Bombardier P&A book, the gearcase capacity for a 1986 110HP is 26 ozs.

I am sure the gear case must not have been drained all the way.<br />I did mine in aug. and I drained it let it drain for a 24 hr. then refilled it and it took 3 1/2.

Buy a quart and the pump and be done with it.

What SoLittle said! You'll find it at Wal-Mart. The tubes sould like too much work. Replace the o-rings while you're at it.
