Overview
The Cummins MerCruiser Diesel propulsion package
features the Zeus® drive pod. These drives feature 60 de-
grees of individual unit turning which affords maximum
control and maneuverability. With the Zeus drive system
propellers face backwards which provide the unit supe-
rior damage protection. The upper drive pod provides a
customer friendly system of checking lubricant and fl uid
levels. All service points are well marked for easy dipstick
checks.
The drive lubricants/fl uids shall be checked before each
cruise or on a daily vessel usage schedule. Pay close at-
tention to periodic maintenance required by Cummins.
This information is available in your engine/drive opera-
tor's manuals. Contact your closest Cummins MerCruiser
Diesel facility for more information or use the Cummins
Quick Serve web-site.
See the maintenance chapter of this manual for more de-
tailed information.
