2. Remove fill cap and check fluid level. The fluid level should be even with
the bottom of the fill hole. Add Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Lubricants

Gearcase Lubrication
When adding or changing gearcase lubricant, visually check for the presence of
water in the lubricant. If water is present, it may have settled to the bottom and
will drain out prior to the lubricant, or it may be mixed with the lubricant, giving it
a milky colored appearance. If water is noticed, have the gearcase checked by
your dealer. Water in the lubricant may result in premature bearing failure or, in
freezing temperatures, will turn to ice and damage the gearcase.
Remove the fill/drain plug and examine the lubricant draining from the gearcase
for metal particles. A small amount of metal filings or fine metal particles
indicates normal gear wear. An excessive amount of metal filings or larger
particles (chips) may indicate abnormal gear wear and should be checked by
an authorized dealer.
DRAINING GEARCASE
1. Place the outboard in a vertical operating position.
