Default Bravo III Gone Bad ?

Took boat in for service, oil change,impeller and drive .
After about an hour on the water alarm goes off. Lift hatch and drive resivour is empty so I fill and go. Used about 3 hours that day.
Next trip after about 4-5 hours use drive is stuck in gear.
Today shop tells me drive is bad- metal shavings etc...
I haven't gone there yet but thoughts on this damage done when fluid was low ?

I had a similar situation in which the drive oil was low after service -- turns out it was an air bubble -- I had to add oil twice before it leveled out- after that totally full. but in your case I would question the oil level and now the metal shavings-- just doesn't sound right

I am waiting on the shop to see the internal parts. The condition , finish and color will tell the story..
I am not one to point fingers but this isnt my 1st BBQ either...
