Lower unit fitting size

[jlemberg]

Does anyone know what the lower unit oil drain fitting size is for a 1999 Ocean Pro 200hp? I would like to not have to keep running back and forth to the store to get the right adaptor size for the oil pump, if one is needed. Also, what lower unit lube do you recommend? Thanks for the help as always.

Scratch that....found a pump kit - 778748 HPF XR Gearcase Lubricant Kit

And a good review supporting the oil at:

Gear oil pump fittings are standardized. I would recommend a full synthetic gear oil made for Marine mechanical shift motors. Buy 2 qts, as it is easier to fill w/o air from a fuller qt bottle

Plug and fitting size is 3/8 NC.

Got it...seems all the pumps are standard for American made motors..and the Japanese ones need an adaptor. I'll look into a full synth next time..the only one I could see was the Sierra full synth, any other suggestions?

Sierra is fine.
