Mercruiser Alpha1 gear oil installation?

[Kevoz]

Just discovered that there is little gear oil in the lower unit, what pump do I need to fill it? It says not to put it in the vent due to air bubbles and damage, etc....where can I buy this pump to fill it?
cheers,

You should probably make a pressure tester and try see if the drive is leaking lube, if it is, its a good idea to try fix it so nothing gets damaged from lack of lube:

Here's how to change the drive lube:

The pump is sold at any marine store or marine dealer that will sell the drive lube:

WOW! Speedy reply, just what I needed....I am going to drain it before I do anything else, then try and go shopping and collecting. I can make a pressure gauge with junk I have on site. Thanks Heaps..
