Stator Assembly Lubricant
DRAINING LUBRICANT
NOTE: When draining stator lubricant, check for water in the lubricant. It may
have settled to the bottom and will drain before the lubricant, or it may have
mixed with the lubricant giving it a milky color. In either case, have the stator
checked by your authorized Mercury Marine dealer. Water in the lubricant can
cause premature bearing failure or, in freezing weather, damage to the stator.
