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.

starting.

range. See Filling.

IMPORTANT: If any water is visible at the bottom of the gear lube monitor or appears at the fill and drain plug hole, or if the
gear lube appears discolored, contact your Mercury Diesel authorized repair facility immediately. Both conditions may
indicate a water leak in the sterndrive.
Filling
IMPORTANT: If more than 59 ml (2 fl. oz.) of High Performance Gear Lube is required to fill the gear lube monitor, a seal may
be leaking. Damage to the sterndrive may occur due to lack of lubrication. Contact your Mercury Diesel authorized repair
facility .
