Was thinking the same thing Phat. From the exploded parts view looks like it should be a fairly simple job to take it apart.. then put a wrench on it and turn out the dipstick from the inside.

Well Phat and Destroyer were correct. One screw to pull the bowl off which gave easy access to the dipstick. Took a whole 30 seconds to get apart, wish I would have payed attention and thought simple way earlier in this process.


The dipstick wouldn't budge turning it from the inside either. It broke off before it started to turn out. But I was able to easily drill it out from the inside. Now I just need to clean the threads up a bit and order a new dipstick.


Thanks for the help guys

James - PM me if you want a set of new hoses for that motor/pump. I think I have some kicking around the garage that are essentially brand new. There are all yours if you want them.

Here is an update

I got everything put back together and added new oil. The trim motor will run but the outboard will not move.

The hoses were off for a month or more so im sure air got into the system. I cant seem to get the air bled/hoses primed with fluid. Ill mess with it again today and if i cant figure it out im going to hire someone who can.

i figured adding some oil would take all of 5 minutes and ive spent countless hours on this dumb thing, I Should have just left it alone to begin with, im past the point of fed up.


Anyone have any suggestions before this thing drives me crazy?

Something about sleeping dogs, cans of worms, and nothing working on an old boat except it's owner.
