Yea, 80w90 smells wonderful doesn't it...

The pump kits are worth it. As Mikie said, stop by an auto parts store or get one at your local boat dealer, they all have them.

I usually like to change mine just after I get home from running the boat, gear case is still a little warm and the oil drains easy.

Here's a tip..squeeze tube or pump. Once the gearcase is full (oil start to come out the top hole) put the screw/plug for the top/vent hole back in BEFORE you remove the pump adapter or squeeze tube (hmmm one hand on squeeze tube, one on screw/plug, one on screw driver...? Might need to set your beer down as you already need three hands :)) Another reason to have the pump. Anyway, if you insert the top plug first, when you remove the bottom one the oil won't "gush" back out as quickly.
