It needs to be topped up . Mine is filled near the top .
I'm not sure where you can purchase some oil to fill it from the rear .

Needs to be refilled. It should have just a small bubble at the top.
Refiill is no big deal.

Like Darrell said, no big deal to top it off. It may have lost the rubber plug on the back.

Our simply replace it with a GPS and eliminate the fluid filled gauge!

I will give a you very nice deal if you end up going this route.

NICE BOAT by the way!

I believe it's just mineral oil, but I have not needed to refill one in many moons, so that could have changed.

Try to find the leak.

The seals on them break occasionally and they will leak down to the level where the seal is broken. If I remember correctly, you can send it back and have it serviced by Gaffrig for about $100.
