I've been laboring on my new-to-me boat this Labor Day weekend. One of the things the surveyor told me to do was change the fluid in the port side transmission; he said it looked pretty bad (almost as bad as the fuel filters looked). It measured right at the "full when hot" level on the dip stick before I started to drain it. I drained the fluid using the hose that runs to the heat exchanger, expecting roughly a gallon, but I ended up with roughly a quart. I then siphoned off a little more fluid with a small tube crammed into the hole used by the dip stick, but I'm still closer to a quart than a gallon. What happened to the other 3 quarts? And, how much fresh transmission fluid should I put back in?
