Sterndrive Gear Lube

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.

Checking

NOTE: The gear lube level will fluctuate during operation. The gear lube level should be checked with the engine cold, before
starting.
1. Check the gear lube monitor to determine the gear lube level. Keep the gear lube level within the recommended operating
range. See Filling.
a
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 Cummins MerCruiser 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 Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Authorized
Repair Facility .
1. Remove the gear lube monitor cap.
2. Fill the gear lube monitor with the specified gear lube so that the gear lube level is in the operating range. Do not overfill.
