Drive Gear Lubrication
NOTICE
Discharge of oil, coolant, or other engine/drive fluids into the environment is restricted by law. Use caution not to spill oil, coolant,
or other fluids into the environment when using or servicing your boat. Be aware of the local restrictions governing the disposal
or recycling of waste, and contain and dispose of fluids as required.
The drive gear lubrication system includes a translucent white‑plastic bottle that is used to monitor the level of the drive gear
lubricant (lube). The monitor includes a switch that can detect a low level of gear lubricant and set an audio or visual alarm.
The Checking and Filling procedures as provided are for situations where the gear lubricant level in the monitor is low but lubricant
is visible. Filling the monitor to the specified level whenever lubricant is still visible in the monitor is correct.
In some events, such as a seal leaking, the gear lubricant level may have dropped low enough that no lubricant is visible in the
monitor. In these situations the operator should have received an audible or visual alarm of a low gear lubricant level. If there has
been an audible or visual alarm for low gear lubricant level and the monitor is found empty, filling the system through the gear
lube monitor (when no lubricant is visible in the monitor) is not correct and requires additional steps as outlined in the Event
Summary table.
IMPORTANT: If the gear lube monitor is empty, air may be trapped in the drive lubrication system by attempting to fill the monitor
through the opening in the monitor. Trapped air may cause the lubricant level to appear correct in the monitor but still be low or
insufficient in the system.
The steps for correct maintenance of the drive gear lubrication level can be summarized by the following table:
