I have a 2007 Larson 208 LXI with a Mercury 5.0 MPI / Alpha 1. It has 15 hours on it. Last time I went out I noticed that the drive lube reservoir on the top of the engine looked low. So on the way to the marina today I picked up a tube of High Performance gear lube. It took about 4 to 5 ounces to refill the reservoir.
Is this normal for a new engine / outdrive or should I be considering talking to my dealer about some warranty service (I have a 5 yr warranty that covers everything except the carpet).
I ran it today after topping it off for about 1.5 hrs at speeds varying between idle and WOT (mostly at 3000 to 4000 RPM's) and it did not appear that the reservoir dropped any.
