5)
Install lubricant level plug before removing
tube from drain/fill hole. Drain/fill plug can
then be installed without loss of lubricant.
Securely tighten both plugs.
Replace gearcase lubricant after first 10 hours of
operation. Check level and condition of lubricant af-
ter next 50 hours of operation. Add lubricant if nec-
essary.
Thereafter, check level and condition of lubricant
every 50 hours. Replace lubricant every 100 hours
of operation or once each season, whichever oc-
curs first. Refill with Ultra-HPF gearcase lubricant.
If not available, Hi-Vis™ or other marine gearcase
lube can be used, however, long term durability
may be affected with continued use. See your Deal-
er.

gearcase applications.
With motor in normal operating position:
IMPORTANT: To avoid insufficient injection of lu-
bricant, check the gear oil level 10 minutes after fill-
ing. If the oil level is low, slowly inject the lubricant
up to the correct level.
1)
Remove drain/fill plug and lubricant level plug
from side of gearcase and completely drain
gearcase of old lubricant.
2)
Examine drained lubricant for metal filings,
milky appearance, or black color with burnt
odor. If old lubricant has any of those charac-
teristics, see your Dealer. If drained lubricant
is in good condition, continue.
Place tube of lubricant in drain/fill hole and fill
slowly until lubricant appears at lubricant lev-
el hole. See Engine Specifications for gear-
case capacity.
Steering System
The installer was instructed to grease the steering
cable ram during installation. Periodic regreasing of
the steering cable ram with Triple-Guard grease is
required. Refer to Engine Maintenance and In-
spection Schedule for lubrication frequency. Refer
to steering system manufacturer’s information
when servicing boat’s steering system.
