I've recently purchased a

I've recently purchased a 1987 Bayliner with a 125 hp Force outboard. I've also ordered a Seloc? manual so I can service this engine. The manual isn't here yet and I've got a few questions.What kind of oil goes in the lower unit. Also the washers that are on the screws for draining and checking that oil are worn out. Can I replace those washers with an o-ring or do I need the original style washers? How much water should be coming out of the back of the lower unit. How do you know when it's time to replace the water pump impeller? The prop doesn't have any numbers any where so I can't tell what the pitch is. It needs replaced and I'm not sure what pitch prop to order. The boat is an 18 ft Capri. Thanks Jim

"Graham, I've read a lot of these post and get the impression that you have been around a lot of out boards. This is my first boat and I've never worked on an out board before. I'm still waiting on my manual and was wondering if you could shed a little light on some of my questions."
