BFSC Kevin Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I got a gear case lube pump. It works on my older 60hp merc but as I was about to change the gear lube in a 5hp 4 stroke, the fitting doesn't fit! Do I need another pump? Something like the image below.. but it was a generic one that I got from BPS I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFSC Kevin Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Oh wait. I found the attachment for hondas, is that what I need for it to work? I'll give it a go later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 What kind of motor are you trying to fill?? A 5hp 4 stroke, but what brand?? My mariner takes a yamaha fitting on the lower unit. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Kevin.. if you don't find the right thread... stick the hose onto an airmattress end (long tapered plastic nozzle) for one of hose portable air pumps. Stick it in the threaded hole and hold it tight while you pump the oil in. Works like a charm.. is what I do on my 9.9 merc as my threaded fittings only fit the Verado and my 25 Honda.

You can also purchase reduced fittings or vice versa for the pump to adapt.Any ct or parts supplier will have them.You can try wurth,optional hose or any hydraulic spec shop.Even princess auto.

Maybe I shall try that if the fitting adapter doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
