F14A water jet

I do not know if my 1988 big block formula 311 has remote Drive Lube reservoirs (Bravo 1 drives). Can anybody tell me where they might be located and maybe send a picture of what it might look like? I'm going to change the fluid in my bravo ones and want to include the reservoir if necessary.
thank you

1988 did not use reservoirs

so just fill the unit as normal. Do you have a recommended brand / style a drive oil?

Remember to fill from the bottom.

I've always used Quicksilver High Performance Gear Lube. Walmart has it pretty cheap. It is usually kept with the boating and fishing supplies (not with engine oils in the automotive section... though they do keep the standard gear lube there, go figure).

Thanks, I will consider it after I resolve the issues from Hurricane Sally.

If the transom assemblies and drives are older, there isn’t a provision to add these. My ‘89 had them but my buddy’s ‘88 Cigarette does not.

does this mean your making the repairs!?!!?

Not necessarily. I am preparing for either eventuality rebuild or replace. Additionally, this experience is allowing / forcing me to learn more about these boats.
