We have an 07 22I Have been out in the boat 3 times.....we were out yesterday afternoon and are loaded up ready to go again....checked all fluids and transmission fluid is barely showing up on the tip of the dipstick.....we don't have our book w/us so don't know what type of trans. fluid it even takes....anyone know what type of fluid and have any idea why it would be low?

Dextron III will work fineI don't want to go to work, take me wake surfing instead! -
When you fill it up the trans needs to be about 1/8" over the full line on the dip stick also. The angel in which the trans sits in the boat the fill line is not accurate. Yes DEXTRON III is standard. If you do not see oil in the bottom of your boat it probably was never filled correctly or if you had it winterized it is possible they intended to change the oil and forgot to fill it back up. It is a good thing you caught it.www.automarinecare.com CWB, ACME, FlyHigh, Merc Marine, PCM, Marine-power, WETSOUNDS, HSE Volume Controls, Kicker, Sony, Samson Sports, and many other marine parts or accessory's.Comment

ATF
we found the problem......a loose hose.....amazing to buy a brand new boat and hoses aren't tight, I guess it's a good thing I married a mechanic...my husband seams to think it's the nondetergent ATF because the fluid that is in it right now is not red....anybody know anything about that??If you're lucky enough to live on the lake, you're lucky enough.Comment

I'm guessing you have a Velvet Drive transmission.Originally posted by jhodnett View Post
Here's a link to various manuals on the Correct Craft site, some of which apply to components used in Tige's - PCM engines, Velvet drive, Perfect Pass, Teleflex steering cable installation, etc. The Borg Warner Velvet Drive Installation manual has a section on trans fluids on page 11 (Type F and Dexron are good). I download manuals like these (pdfs) for our boat for future reference. Would be nice if Tige added links to their website.

Keep checking all the hose clamps regularly. Some of them can sink your boat.Comment

It's a ZF Hurth Marine........that site is pretty neat, i definitely wish Tige had their manuals downloaded like that, it would've come in handy today.
I guess I was taught a lesson by this.........i tend to get a little impatient when my husband checks over our engine 15 times before putting the boat in the water.......guess it could've been a bad day for usOriginally posted by R&T Babich View Post

The best way to check your tranny fluid is with the boat on the water. If you check it in the driveway, chances are the boat is not sitting level like it would in the water.Reality is only an illusion that occurs due to a lack of alcohol.Comment
