Checking
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.
NOTE: The oil level fluctuates during operation, so check with the engine cold before starting.

Check the gear lube oil level. Keep the oil level within the recommended operating range.

conditions can indicate a water leak in the sterndrive.
