Bravo XR Service?
I have a 353 Fastech with 500s, XR's and extension boxes. I purchased this boat at the start of last year, and the previous owner stated that he used Amsoil in the drives. My question is in regards to maintenance. What maintenance needs to be done in order to effectively service the drives at the start of this season? Is it just a simple change of Amsoil? Or is there more to it? I am trying to decide if I am going to do it myself, or have the work done.

Pull both oil plugs and inspect for pieces of metal. Like was said, fuzz is ok.
Drain lube.
Refill Lube by pumping it in from the bottom.
Reinstall top plug.
Grease gimbal bearing.
Grease coupler and U joints.

I am with you, I pull mine every winter and inspect the gimbal bearing and u-joints, Tear down the complete drive every other year and swap drives every winter from port/starboard.
Better safe than sorry....
