DRIVE UNIT OIL
NOTE: Oil level will fluctuate during operation. Oil level should be
checked with the cold engine before starting.
1. Check gear lube monitor oil level; keep oil level at or near the
"FULL" line.
2. Check for water at the bottom of the monitor and/or if the oil
appears a milky tan color. Contact your authorized Mercury
Marine dealer immediately because both conditions indicate
a water leak somewhere in the drive unit.
IMPORTANT: If more than 59ml (2 fl oz) of High Performance
Gear Lube is required to fill the monitor, a seal may be leaking.
Damage to the drive unit may occur due to lack of lubrication.
Contact your authorized Mercury Marine dealer for service.
