Gear Case Oil Level Check

Check the gear case oil level with the
engine stopped and the outboard
motor in the vertical position.
Remove the oil level screw and see
whether oil flows from the oil level
hole.
If oil flows from the oil level hole, the
oil level is OK. Reinstall the screw
and tighten it securely.
