CHECKING SUPERCHARGER GEARCASE OIL
IMPORTANT: A sight glass is located in the front gearcase cover
of the supercharger. The oil should be covering approximately half
of the sight glass. If the oil level increases, decreases, or changes
to an abnormal color, there may be an internal problem with the
supercharger. Contact your authorized Mercury Marine dealer.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Allow approximately 5 minutes for the oil in the supercharger
case to settle and the sight‑glass to clear.
3. Visually inspect the level and quality of the oil in the sight glass
gage. The oil should be covering approximately half of the
sight glass.

CHECKING POWER STEERING PUMP FLUID
IMPORTANT: If fluid is not visible in the reservoir, contact your
authorized Mercury Marine dealer.
1. Stop the engine and turn the drive unit to the straight ahead
position.
NOTE: Multiple engine applications may have only one common
reservoir, that is common to all of the engines, or that fills the
adjacent engine's reservoir. The full reservoir will not have a
dipstick, check the fluid level at the other engine's reservoir or the
common reservoir for all engines.
