Drive Housing Lubricant
DRAINING LUBRICANT
NOTE: When draining the drive housing lubricant, visually check for water in
the lubricant. It may have settled to the bottom and will drain before the
lubricant or it may have mixed with the lubricant, giving it a milky color. In either
case, have the drive housing checked by your authorized Mercury Marine
dealer. Water in the lubricant can cause premature gear or bearing failure or, in
freezing weather, damage to the drive housing.
