Default How much Fluid

How much fluid does a B-max hold?

With no side hole like my old Imco how do you know when you are full?

Can you remove the top cap and fill or does it have to be pumped from the lower?

Should I be concerned about enlarging the size of the fluid reservoir? I hear that the B-max will expand fluid so much that it will overflow the stock size.

Thanks

You have a hole on the top of the drive. You fill the drive all the way up to the top and the fill the bottle to the line and you still fill it from the bottom to get the air out. Most b max drive use a large bottle like the old style merc ones that where clear and round. I think you can still get them if not I have one in stock. My # 281-326-5511 if I can help

Thanks for the information I do have a huge resivor that I found and installed.

Drive seemed to hold about 4 quarts which seemed like way more than I felt like pumping so I got an old Fire Extinguiser(sp) the type you fill with air and has a removable lid... Rigged it with a new hose poured gear lube in it and attached it to the lower. I think it took a total of 2 to 3 mins for the drive to fill to the top Probably could have done it faster but didnt want to much going in to fast. NO MESS, NO ISSUES.
