Fill up the sink and drop the hose/cone adapter/bike pump nozzle into the sink. Shake the bubbles off and put you thumb over the end of the screw-in part of the lube pump. You can easily hold 15-20 pounds with your thumb and if you have leaks you will see bubbles. more
The hose (the end that attached to the actual pump) attached nicely to the cone shaped adapter and I used a zip tie as a hose clamp. You can get fancier, but I didn't have any hose clamps around that small. and this is only a temporary set-up. I also put a wrap of electrical tape around the end that fits into the pump for a better seal. Make sure you do the tape before you get it all grease, or your fingers. Then I put the threaded, threads now covered with electrical tape, into the end of the bike pump and closed the lever. more
Hey guys so I searched and searched and could not find anything about EXACTLY how to build one of these, so I did it myself and it worked great for me.

The lightweight Allison needs the gearcase run really high to reduce drag, in order to perform. [links]
The Mercury Racing Sport Master design has changed over the years, and was seen in iterations of the 2.5L, 3.0L, 3.2L, and Verado R engines, as well as Bravo XR drives. The advantage the Sport Master had over earlier performance gearcases was the torpedo shape which improved high speed dynamics, water pickup design that helped with water pressure, and flow around the gearcase. Also, importantly, the internals were stronger, as well as offering different gear ratio options. Later model Sport Masters had a larger shaft to accommodate higher horsepower engines. here
If you are already installing an aftermarket kit, This should be a relatively simple fix, you can fill the prop side water inlet, round off your tip, and improve the dynamics of your gearcase. Even though it is more critical in 100 MPH + applications, it is beneficial in all scenarios where you are surfacing your gearcase.
Although the Seven is not really a high performance engine, you can get it with this performance lower. The pointy cone on this looks cool, and that is what’s important. here
Gearcase design is somewhat complicated, but in this article I want to talk about some key things that will help make you faster, safer, and more efficient. One of the challenges with our Project 150 Mercury four stroke is the stock gearcase doesn’t have a low water pickup. For large number of consumers, this is not a problem. But, for those running a lighter faster hull, looking to squeeze more speed out of any stock engine, a low water pickup is a must. Beyond the low water pickup, there is also the consideration of how the gearcase itself will respond to being run higher out of the water, and the faster you go, the higher it will need to be. The gearcase design becomes critical to handling and safety. [links]
The 150 ProXS gearcase is better than the stock 150 in that it has low water pickups. The shape is probably okay for most boats that are running this engine. Would love to test it on a light hull. [links]
