That sums it up pretty good. Thanks for all the info I beleave I got it.

Ok.. thanks Vinny.. lost track of my focus!!

I remove my bottle when changing out the lube and clean the sludge out....then I blow a little air into the unconnected tube until I hear it come out the drive oil drain hole. This way i know the tube and bottle are clean and flowable. You will have to top off your drive lube bottle a couple times after running it.

Thanks this all really helps.

When you unscrew the wiring harness (bottom cap) do you use a torque wrench to put it back on or just a wrench and rule of thumb?

I just unplug the 2 wires at the bottle and remove the bottle and hose as a whole. The push clip at the transom for the hose can be a trick to undo at times.
Just snug on the bottom cap if you do take it apart. But I almost never take it apart to clean because it's a pain to work inside the bottle getting the flaot clip on/off. I just put a little gas in it and shake it till it's clean and then drain the gas thru the hose to clean it out also. Usually takes a couple gas changes to get it clean.
Then let it dry real good before reinstalling.

Thanks for the pointer. I must have overlooked the disconnect at the bottom of the bottle.
