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:
