  • pressure in sterndrive

    This is my second seasonon my SE 116 and I have a question about pressure being maintained in the sterndrive. I checked the oil today after using the boat yesterday. When I removed the upper plug, there was pressure that forced about an ounce of gear lube out of the plug hole. Is this normal ? I never noticed pressure build up with the Mercruiser sterndrive.

    If you do not have a reservoir bottle then it is normal for the drive oil to be under pressure after it is used. I have never studied it to see how long after. Also I have noticed if a drive is in the sun it will build up pressure since the oil gets hot.
