3 Lubricate engine coupler splines through grease fittings on coupler by applying approximately 8-10 pumps
of grease from a typical hand-operated grease gun using Quicksilver Engine Coupler Spline Grease. If boat
is operated at idle for prolonged periods of time, coupler should be lubricated every 50 hours.
NOTE: Bravo Models - Your engine is equipped with a sealed engine coupler. The sealed coupler and shaft
splines can be lubricated without removing the drive unit.
NOTE: Bravo Models - The crosses and bearings on the drive U-joint will need to be lubricated through the
grease fittings. Apply Quicksilver U-joint and Gimbal Bearing Grease from a typical hand-operated grease gun
until a small amount of grease begins to push out. The sterndrive unit must be removed to grease these fittings.
