Evinrude selectric sterndrive

[Mce]

Hi All. I have just purchased a boat that has an old Evinrude outdrive Circa 1974. Unfortunately I cannot find any identification numbers on it but I think the model may be called a Stringer. it has A selectric gearshift with two gear box's, one on top of the unit and one at the bottom. the lift mechanism is a rack and pinion type.<br />I have been warned that there is a special oil that has to be used in these gear box's. I have been given several types such EP90 and SAE30 and QTF. Can anyone identify the proper oil which is used. I would be very grateful. Regards.

I had a 71” and it used special oil. I don’t know the weight but it says “for electric shift”<br />About 3 or 4 years ago I got mine from Walmart. I think it had special additives for corrosion of electrical parts. Also if I remember correctly the upper and lower gear case uses the same oil. I am at work right now, but when I get home I will check the manual for it and try to get you the info you need!!!
