1995 Sea Ray 330 DA with Hurth V-Drives.
We are starting our 3rd year with the boat. She came with Jasper Long Blocks, which now have approx 140 hours on them. The tran coolers were replaced when the engines were installed, all by the previous owner. I do not know if the fluids were changed then. I do not see anything noted on the engine bill so my assumption is the trans fluid was not changed then (September 2005).
I have never changed trans fluid. My assumption is a I can pump it out just like I do the engine oil, tube/pump, thru the dipstick tube? Are there any filters/screens that need to be replaced? What kind of trans fluid and how much for each? How often (hours/time) should one change the trans fluid?
Do I have a trans and a "gear" box, and do both need fluid or do they share fluids?
Thanks,
