"I am still purchasing lubes/e
"I am still purchasing lubes/etc. for the stern drive (need more hi-vis) but I have greases I need for steering linkage and whatever else is INSIDE engine compartment.
Because I'm such a newb I can't really find how to grease steering (I sometimes hear a squeak when turning hard left or right). Clymer (or Seloc) mentions lubing this but there is no real picture to speak of.
I have a 1985 Galaxy Day Cruiser with OMC 800 stern unit.
Also...do you think it w/be possible to change/refill stern drive oil (int. housing, upper and lower) with boat on lift or would I definitely need to trailer it onto ground first.
thanks,
mike"
