I've got to say the obvious. The cooler is the one the cooler lines from transmission go to..................Probably tucked under one side of motor ,under the mounts

Would a Dexron fluid work in a velvet drive trans??

Crazy if it is being blown out the cooler on the pressure side and being dumped out on the cooling water side being it is a fresh water boat. But killed a trans in saltwater having the same thing happen with the cooler going out in minutes. /

It was not a cast cooler that went out. What is your cooler?

yes it will work. A buddy of mine runs it in his. I've always used type F based on the merc manuals and Marc from Bam. I see no reason to steer away from what has worked for many years and many velvet drives behind some big power.
