    Changing lower unit oil? :confused:

    I just recently aquired an 1971 20hp mercury outboard and I want to change the lower unit oil. I see there is a drain plug and a fill hole but there is no vent hole. Im afraid that once i drain the oil i wont be able to fill it because it will get air locked? What should I do? Thanks

This had...
