"About two weeks ago my alarm
"About two weeks ago my alarm went off and I discovered that the fill bottle for my gear oil was empty. I topped it off and now I'm using about a half pint every 1/2 hour of cruising. No oil in bilge area, and no oil slick when idling. I let engine run at idle for about a half hour a couple of days ago and there was no drop in gear oil or a slick. I seem to be losing it under power only. Any ideas/ suggestions? I want to get another month of boating in before I pull the boat for the winter. Obviously, I'll most likely pull the drive and pressure check then."
