I have a '98 4.3L Merc Cruiser (205hp) engine. It is a used boat and I don't think the oil got changed last year (first full summer with her). I am not an engine guy, and all the engine/oil change talk is nonsense to me.
What I am looking for is a link, or for someone to post pics of what I need to do (a link with words wont work, since I am not familiar with all the engine verbiage). Treat me like a 5 y.o. with pictures of the appropriate parts that need to removed/change etc. I want to learn, and I was hoping someone here could help me. I know I need to change the filter and remove the old oil either via the dipstick, or (harder from what I understand) removing a plug and draining to a pan. I would also like to learn how to do the lower unit as well.
Had it winterized by a "pro" this winter (in MI) and put the plugs in, connected the battery and ran the boat in the water for about 5 minutes to hopefully run the "fogging" agent out. After I learn the oil change, what else should I look towards learning.
PLEASE SPEAK IN Idiot Language, as I am not very engine savvy. Thanks!
