Evinrude gearlube ?

I have a 1977 Evinrude 85HP. What gearlube can I use. It's a mechanical shift. Thanks!

Just ask at a boat shop for marine gear oil, its normally like SAE90 or something.
Just dont stick gear oil for cars in there as the marine stuff has much better protection from degradation by water contamination.
You will probably need around 700mls
