Tranny Fluid after break in???
Just got a mailing from Indmar that mentions changing the transmission fluid after the first 20 hours of operation on new boats. I didn't see that in the Moomba handbook, only to change oil and filter (which I did). I thought maybe I mis-read it but it definitely tells you to change the tranny fluid. Well holly crap I've got almost 50 hours on this puppy with the original tranny fluid. Will this be an issue for my transmission long term?

The break in fluid changes are very important, these initial changes discard the metallic residue from the new materials wearing together. The transmission has several single pressure plates that press on each other, the first 20 hrs. leave residue in the fluid (which long term, can lead to a shortened tranny life). Changing the fluid and having the internal filter screen cleaned will prolong the life of the tranny. I would suggest having this done on your next oil change. Hope this helps, keep us posted.

Brian, could you supply me with the instructions or suggestions on how to remove/clean the trans filter screen? I have changed the fluid, but never removed the screen. Thanks.
