Help! Alpha outdrive not draining

[unbtabl]

I’m trying to change the gear oil in my 96 bay liner. I’ve removed both the top and bottom screws on the outdrive... lowered the unit, removed the cap from reservoir. It drained for about 10 minutes or so then stopped. The reservoir is still over half full. Is it not supposed to drain completely?

Ayuh,..... The reservoir may not by itself,.....

It should be pulled off, so you can clean the sludge outa the bottom of the bottle,......

Ok. I’ll give that a shot.
