alisyn aerospace lubricants offers there pro 21 marine gear lube, I have had good luck with it, would also reccomend lucas products use there engine oil. I have seen some motors on amsoil that had catastrofic faliure that lead bac k to oil issues .

I run the NEO oil from the Bravo shop in my 43 BT. Seems to be great stuff. I am installing drive temp guages asap and will post pixs and results of a drive with NEO oil in it vs. a Merc gear lube.
Jason, are you doing the same in you boat?

Yes I am! John gave you a different weight didn't he? Like a 50-60 or something like that.

if you want the drive gears to last longer ie,,, pitting and cracks to stop... we run Amsoil 75/90 severe gear with a blend of Lucas engine treatment,,,this will stop the premature failures of gears especialy XR gears... i ran one drive with Merc HP gear lube and the other with Amsoil/Lucas mix to test and see the results. both Bravos with new gears, fresh rebuilds,, at the end of the season 50hrs about,,, i took both drives apart.... the drive with the Merc gear oil needed new gears (pitting wear marks) the Amsoil/Lucas drive did not need new gears ,, no sign of wear..... most of the outdrive shops/vendors repackage this combination and resell it as their own "special" blend....... mix one quart of Lucas with 4 quarts of Amsoil 75/90 severe gear
