The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I looked in the manuals but I can't find, what type of gear oil uses a Mercruiser Alphaone Gen II and what type of liquid does the power trim motor use?
To be more specific, what weight of oil does the sterndrive use, ex. 75-90, 85-90?
Also the trim, does it use transmission fluid or oil, or can it use both, right now it has transmission fluid.
The gear lube from Merc. is 75 90. And as far as trim fluid you want to use one single type, don't mix diffrent fluid types. So suck out all old fluid and use only one type. It's oil, with a die in it. Use a cheap turkey baster to suck out old fluid from tank and purse lines etc..
The previous owner told me he used transmission fluid, I checked the manual but can't find if it uses atf or oil, its a 1995 Alphaone Gen II. Thanks for the info on the oil weight.
