Drive oil seems to have a leak. Filled reservoir full, empty in a week, how much does it hold? Some say fill in down position, others say it doesn't matter?
 
the drive is a sealed system and should not leak a drop. A typical Alpha drive takes just under 2 qts, Bravo closer to 3 .Drive in the full down, level position. Remove top plug and bottom plug. Fill from the bottom until it comes out the top hole. Install top plug, then bottom plug
 
Thank You, the proper fitting to attach to the threaded hole and a pump to move the gear oil i would guess. Boat has been sitting a while, main drive bellows should be changed, got parts from quicksilver, important to get this right, a long 1/4" drive snake with universal i here workes ok to secure clamps, small metal attachment on the bottom, do they use any sealer on the new bellows, any tips so it don't go to the bottom?
 
you would have to tell us what drive you have to answer those questions and maybe a manual link posted for you to read up on BEFORE working on it
