How many times a year?

Should I change the oil in the lower unit of my motor once or twice a year?</p>

Once will do fine unless you have a leak.

I take mine to the shop and get the impeller and gear lube replaced anually. A hardened impeller can lose its ability to pump like it should and you know what that means.. A new motor cost around $15,000 bucks and an anual service about $150 bucks.....emoThumbsup

Thanks - That's all I needed to know. I'm gonna work on it next weekend to get it set up for the year.</p>

That makes perfect sense! A few dollars spent at the early stages of a problem or potential problem is alot easier on the wallet than a surprise later....
