2. Remove the fill/vent screw. Wipe clean and re‑insert back into
the pump, but do not thread it into place.
3. Remove it again and note the oil level, which must be between
the "ADD" and "FULL" marks on the dipstick. If necessary, add
Power Trim and Steering Fluid or SAE 10W‑30 motor oil
through the fill/vent hole to bring the oil level up to the "FULL"
mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
4. Raise and lower the drive unit 6 to 10 times to purge air from
the system.
5. Re‑check the oil level.
IMPORTANT: Loosen the fill/vent screw 1‑1/2 turns after seating
to vent the pump reservoir. Failure to loosen the screw could result
in damage to the pump.
6. Re‑install the fill/vent screw until it seats, then loosen it 1‑1/2
turns to vent the pump.
CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
IMPORTANT: The first time the transmission fluid is checked, the
boat should be on a trailer or in a sling with the engine level. Add
fluid until the dipstick reads "FULL," then put the boat in the water
and recheck the fluid level. Mark the dipstick at the new fluid level
and use this mark when checking the fluid with the boat in the
water.
1. Operate the engine for at least two minutes at idle, shifting the
transmission from forward to reverse several times.
NOTE: If the engine has not been run for more than two weeks,
fluid can drain out of the transmission pistons and change the fluid
level by as much as one quart.
