I have been following this thread and have a couple of comments.
1. The pick up tube for the pump is in the front of the gear box. If you are under filled, you may be starving the pump when the bow of the boat pops up when starting to go. The oil will go to the back of the gear box.
2. If the pump is starving for oil you can trash the pump quickly. Be carefull here if you are slipping don't keep trying.
3. If you get the oil to the right level and you still have issues get the shift pressure tested.
4. IF the shift pressure is low, get the relief chack valve checked first. These have broken their springs on occasion.
5. What are the odds that both tranny's died at the same time? Lets hope for low oil!
