It includes the connector fitting and cap required to fill the drive with gear lube through the fill port without spilling or introducing air. The bottle and connector system ensures a clean, controlled fill that matches the Bravo drive's fill port design — generic bottles or pumps may not seal correctly on this application, leading to incomplete fills or lube contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive lube fill bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector fitting (mates to Bravo drive fill port)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGear lube is not included.

The drive is full when gear lube flows steadily from the upper vent hole with no air bubbles. Install the upper vent plug first, then the lower fill plug — in that order — to prevent siphoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat gear lube does the Bravo drive use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMercury High Performance Gear Lube (SAE 90) is the specified lubricant for Bravo sterndrives.
