GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
It's been many years since I last packed a Mercury foot with grease. Seem to remember I removed two plugs, one to insert grease, one to force out old grease. Would appreciate the procedure, type of grease, etc. Packing a 1977 50hp Mercury. Thanx
I think the grease was called Lubriplate 105. many folks use good quality gear oil nowadays; I've seen it talked about on this forum before. I suggest you use the search feature to search this forum. In my 1956 Mercury Mark 55E I used gear oil. Use synthetic (no more than it holds, might as well) I'm going to add 10% STP to improve viscosity.<br />There are two screws on the foot. You squirt the stuff in the bottom hole until it comes out of the top. Be sure to replace the screw gaskets.
