Sent oil and gear fluid out to Blackstone for a first analysis since I bought the boat. YEAH!!! One time results were about as perfect as someone could want. I know it is one snapshot in time but gives me a good baseline. The only thing that was pointed out on both engines was the insolubles level in both gears. They suggested I needed to change the fluid. OK, no problem.
I remember the previous owner saying that there was no sump or bottom drain on the Borg Warner Velvet Drives. He said to get as much out as you can and then refill. Take it out and go boating. Then change again when you get back in. This should get most of the old out and replaced with new.
Any other options to get it all at once? This process sound about right?
