Service Gator-Tail suggests you purge the lower unit grease every 15 hours. You must use Amsoil Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex Grease to avoid damage and voiding your warranty. (see pg. 12 for Amsoil data sheet) Using a grease gun, purge out old grease with new grease. - Page 6 3) Propeller Inspect propeller after every trip and check for looseness. A sign of a loose prop is the prop rocking left to right. If the prop is loose, tighten to 60 ft/lbs torque. 4) Throttle Throttle should always have about 1/8 turn slack before the engine RPM's raise. This is important to maintain a low idle.
