| I just recently purchased an 84 Mako with a 96 Mercury 175 on it. It is running fine but not sure how long ago the water pump was changed. I am pretty mechanically inclined but have not done this before. I hear its not that hard. Going to get a mechanic to go through the whole thing when my budget allows but it looks really clean. This is a 175 offshore v6 outboard. Have any of you done this yourself and is it that hard. I plan on going back out this weekend and was thinking of going ahead and changing it out. 2nd question I have is regarding gear lube for the lower end. I hear quicksilver is good. I bought some of the quicksilver premium and a pump to make it easier, but then I heard they make a synthetic blend. Is the regular stuff good enough or do I need to go for the synthetic. New to this, just looking for a bit of advice. Thanks. Dave
