IMPORTANT:
The recommended gear lubricant
is formulated for marine applications. Do not use
automotive gear lubricants, engine oils, or any oth-
er oil or grease.
Secure the gearcase in a vertical position.
Use Gearcase Filler, P/N 501882, to slowly fill the
gearcase with HPF PRO lubricant until lubricant
level in the reservoir is between the marks as
shown in Lubricant Level on p. 20.
IMPORTANT:
Filling the gearcase too quickly
can cause air pockets and the gearcase may not fill
completely.
Clean plug seal area and install the lubricant
drain/fill plug and a new seal. Tighten the plug to a
torque of 60 to 84 in. lbs. (7 to 9.5 N·m).
Install the water screens. Tighten the screw to a
torque of 10 to 14 in. lbs. (1.2 to 1.6 N·m).
