In the book CHEAP OUTBOARDS.. the author suggest that changing oil during the season is probably the best thing to do unless one wishes to go all the way with a reseal.

I have done a few and it is not that hard but really….a lot of boaters will use their boats 50-75 hours per season so changing the oil in the old kicker won’t cost much with Wally mart oils and takes 15 minutes.

you can buy a fair quantity of bulk 90w oil for the price of the drive shaft and prop seals ….

Of course if the leak is very serious go for it …… lots of utubes to teach you

if you live in snow country… make certain to drain and refill before the cold temps come in
