This may sound pretty stupid to the average boater but I am trying to pick up on some tips. I bought a 1991, 21' runabout with a 350 OMC I/O. I am wanting to change the lower gear oil and im wondering that type to buy. I know how to change it but don't know the type to get. Also how do you know if your boat has electric shift or anything else in that matter?

Not trying to be a smart***** but based on your questions and this being a Cobra I'd be willing to wager that you may not know how to change the oil (especially the refilling part) I would recommend you get yourself a manual so that you can read up on the correct procedure and not toast those upper gears.

Have a read of this article about filling the lube
