I've just had the shift cable replaced on my 2001 Alpha 1 Gen 2 sterndrive (got the work done professionally) as it was jammed. I took the boat out for about 1 hour after the work was done to test it. Everything works fine, except when I went down to the boat today there was a small pool of gear lube oil sitting underneath the outdrive. Looks like it has come out of the gear housing water drain holes on the sides of the outdrive, just above the cavitation plate. The gear lube monitor has dropped from full to just above the bottom level - I know it was full before because I topped it up after the work was done.
This doesn't look right to me - anyone got any comments/suggestions before I talk to the mechanics about it?
Thanks
Tony
