add oil as follows.
A MIN. - Minimum oil level mark
B MAX - Maximum oil level mark
NOTE: Distance between marks is equivalent to approximately 1.0 liter (1 US quart).

the level again, after adding oil.

and/or if oil appears to be discolored, contact your Authorized Mercury MerCruiser Dealer immediately. Both
conditions may indicate a water leak somewhere in the drive unit.
IMPORTANT: If more than 59 ml (2 fl. oz. ) of Quicksilver Gear Lube are required to fill drive unit, a seal
may be leaking. Contact your Authorized Mercury MerCruiser Dealer for service. Damage to unit may
occur due to lack of lubrication.
