Just yapping with the SR tech on the docks, he mentioned something they have been seeing with smaller cruisers pulled out of the water or on lifts. I think this is limited to Bravo3 drives.
Apparently, the weight of the prop hanging down pulls on the seals enough to loosen them so they start losing lube. I didn't ask about a solution, since I keep mine in the water, but wish I had.
If your boat is suspended and you are losing lube, this could be the culprit. He said it wasn't a problem in older boats.
