gear lube pump at fleet farm?

[korygrandy]

Does anyone know if fleet farm carries a gear lube pump or something that will work for changing the gear lube and possibly a fuel filter for my 3.0? I would call them but there closed right now.

It's a sad day. I started winterizing. Added fuel stabilizer and topped off the tank. Changed the oil (it wasn't as clean a job as I thought). Now I need to soak up the oil that spilled in the bilge area somehow. Is this bad? I was thinking some cheap sponges, and then flush as much as I can out of the bilge with the hose and use towels on the rest. There was no easy way to get a bucket in there. I probably have a good quart in there. Next year I need to find a cleaner method.

Hopefully the engine block drain will go smoother.

You need to use LOWR UNIT OIL, it is pretty much the same as 80-90 gear oil but has additives to deal with water intrusion.

You can get it at any Wal Mart and most auto parts stores.

Thanks! Hopefully the lower unit oil will be a much cleaner job tonight.

why not get a kit like this for chaning your oil?

You screw the adapter into the oil pan drain, screw on the hose, then run it out the drain hole of the boat. You leave the hose on and just plug it.

Just got back from Fleet Farm, where I picked up a pump- it was on sale for about $5- and it has a nice metal fitting, where all the other ones I've used in the past had plastic. Looks as well made as the others, we'll soon see.
