Default New to Mercruiser / Lower unit maint HELP.

Okay, bought a mid 70's Starflite runabout with a Merc 140 I/O. Had it out
for the first time yesterday and all is okay except for the darned trim/tilt
wouldn't go down. Fixed it with 2 used pistons. Anywho, decided to drain
the outdrive grease to check for water and metal etc.. Anyways, what is the
proper procedure for replacing the grease/oil? What type do I use? How
many ounces? I ordered the manual for the engine/outdrive but I must wait 8
more days. Help! We want to hit the water tomorrow. Heh.

Thanks!
