Default Bravo 1 gear lube capacity.

Getting all my stuff together for my spring service. I guess old age is getting the better of me. Can't for the life of me remember how many quarts of gear lube I need to service a Bravo 1.

Thanks in advance....

Believe it or not, I have a real long story that contributed to my confusion. Was too long to type out though. Remind me to tell you next time we talk.

Mbam, thank you for the link. It helped a lot.

7 qts for both drives will be plenty. You will probably only need 6qts depending on how much gets spilled.
BTW, the Quicksilver HP gear lube is exactly the same as the Merc HP gear lube with a different lable. Merc lable is about $18 and QS is $12 at Walmart.
