Filling Gear Housing with Lubricant
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use automotive lubricant in gear housing. Use only Quicksilver
Gear Lube.
1. Remove any old gasket material from “OIL” and “OIL LEVEL” plugs and from around
plug openings of gear housing.
2. Install new gaskets on “OIL” and “OIL LEVEL” plugs.
IMPORTANT: Never add lubricant to gear housing without first removing “OIL LEV-
EL” (vent) plug, as trapped air will prevent housing from being filled. Fill gear housing
only when outboard is in operating position.
3. With outboard in operating position, insert lubricant tube into “OIL” (fill) hole.
4. Fill gear housing with lubricant, until excess starts to flow from “OIL LEVEL” (vent) hole
(approximately 6.5 fl oz. [195 mL] of Quicksilver Gear Lube).
5. Install “OIL LEVEL” (vent) plug.
6. Remove lubricant tube and install “OIL” (fill) plug.
