I have a velvet drive and need to change the oil. Not having done this before, does anyone have any helpful suggestions? Can I just pump it out the top?

You need to buy a hand held suction pump to get the fluid out. I purchased mine at Sears. You can check the engine reference guides that are posted on this website to see what type of fluid you need. The cap/dipstick has an indicator on it to show you when it's full. It's a pretty simple task.

If it's a direct drive (1.3 qts), just unscrew the filter in the back, (where the tranny line comes out just to the right of the shaft) and all the oil will drain out. If it's a reduction tranny (2.7 qts), remove the line at the top of the tranny cooler, and drain it out of that line.

I feel the easiest and cheapest way is to simply get one of those hand primer bulbs that are used on outboard motor fuel lines. Put the line into the sump through the dipstick hole and squeeze away. It'll take less than a minute to pump it out and I bought the primer bulb for $3 (and that's in Australia where everything is dearer)

FUN-9C1 is right on. Get the nose of the boat up to tip the transmission back. Pulling the drain plug is the way to go because it allows the crap on the bottom to drain and most importantly, cleaning the oil filter screen.
