I'm new to this forum. Hi :) I have a Sea Ray Sundancer 250 with Merc 5.7 and Bravo II leg.
I need to refill the fluids. I need coolant in my closest cooling system (Fresh water) and want to make sure I'm putting it in the right place as I'm much better with cameras than I am with motors.

Attached are some photos.

Could someone please let me know what each is and what fluid I should put in.

Welcome aboard.

#1 - That's the place, it's the heat exchanger. Water/antifreeze mix
#2 - Right, the coolant overflow. Water/antifreeze mix up to the hot or coldline
#3 - That's the lower unit lube reservoir. Lower unit lube.
#4 - Power steering pump and reservoir. Power steering fluid.
#5 - Tilt/trim pump and reservoir. Either 30W oil or ATF, Automatic transmission fluid.

If you have an owner's manual all this should be covered.

:eek: :eek:

I only see 4 numbers, and #1 is NOT water/AF... It's the power steering reservoir, Power steering fluid or ATF...

#4 is Trim/tilt pump, uses the same as the power steering reservoir...
