TRANSMISSIONS
OPERATING
TEMPERATURE
A
CAUTION:
If
the
transmission
fluid
temperature
is
too
high,
stop
the
engine
immediately
and
check
the
transmission
fluid.
Normal operating temperature of the
transmission
fluid
should be
in
the
range
of
122
0
F
(500
C)
to
212
0
F
(100
0
C).
A
maximum
temperature of
266
0
F
(130
0
C)
may
be
only
reached
for
a short
time.
Make certain there is enough space
around
the
transmission
to
provide
good
ventilation
and
cooling.
TRANSMISSION
COOLER
Coolers
are
standard equipment
for
the
ZF
10
M,
12
M,
15
M,
15
MA,
15
MIv,
and
the
25
M
(no
cooler
is
necessary
for the ZF 5
M).
The cooler
is
a seperate part of the
transmission
which
pre-
vents
any
possibilities of coolant diluting
the
transmission
fluid.
However,
the continued
flow
of coolant thru the cooler
will,
in
time,
erode the inside of
the
cooler
causing
external
leaks.
A transmission cooler
may
last ten
years
or
more
but,
in
some circumstances, depending on operating
hours,
tropical
waters, maintemance,
etc.
it might
only
last half
that
time.

INSPECT
FOR
LEAKAGE
AND
CORROSION
MAINTENANCE
Transmission maintenance
is
minimal.
Keep
the
exterior
housing
clean,
check
the
fluid
level
as
part of
your
regular
routine,
and
change
the
fluid
every
300
operating
hours.
Periodically inspect the transmission
and
the
cooler
for
leaks
and
corrosion.
Make
certain
the
air vent
is
clear
and
when
checking the
fluid
level look
for
signs
of water
contamination
(fluid
will
appear
as
strawbeny
cream).
Lay-up/Winlerize
Storage
requires
special,
care.
Follow
these
procedures:
o Drain water
from
the
transmission
oil
cooler
and
replace
with
a proper mixture of antifreeze
coolant.
NOTE:
This
operation will normally occur
when
the
engine
raw
water cooling system
is
properly
winterized.
o Clean
up
the
transmission
and
touch
up
unpainted
areas
(use
heat resistant
paint).
o Fill the
transmission
with
Dextron
III ATF
fluid
to
prevent internal corrosion
(extended
storage
only,
twelve
months
or
more).
o Loosen attaching hardware
from
the
transmission
output
flange
and
propeller shaft
coupling
flange
before
removing
the
boat
from
the
water.
Separate
the
flanges
and
spray
with
lubricant.
o Inspect the gear shift cable,
linkage,
and
attachments.
Look
for
corrosion of
the
end
fittings,
cracks
or
cuts
in
the
conduit,
and
bending of
the
actuator
rods.
Lubricate
all
moving
parts.
.
NOTE:
If
the
transmission
is
to
be
stored for a
long
time
(twelve
months or
more),
it should
be
topped offwith
fluid
to
prevent internal
corrosion.
Reduce
the
fluid
level
before
putting
the
engine
back
into
service.
