Fluids

Larry what fluids are you refering to. If its the gear oil you can do it yourself in 10 minutes. simply put a bucket under the motor to catch the old oil. Unscrew the bottom flat head screw and drain the oil. With the bottom screw still out unscrew the top flat head screw. Insert the threaded adapter purchased at any boat chandlery into the bottom screw. squeze oil into motor until it comes out the top screw. put the top screw back in. then put the bottom screw back in and your done. Dont try to cheat the system by filling from the top. The reason you fill from the bottom is to ensure no air bubbles are traped. Hope this helps.

You Can Do It Yourself, Here is the Test....

Hold a beer in one hand grab a handful of goobers (peanuts for all you yankees) and cuss at somthing. If you can do all of that your as qualified as you need to be. If you can read the manual you are ahead of the game. It truly is that simple.

It really is as simple as Sean and Rick say

Now if you haven't had your motor serviced in a few seasons it might not be a bad idea to have them clean the carb, change the plugs, etc. But if you just want to change the oil do it yourself. Save the money and take your wife out to dinner instead!
