Bob,

It all depends upon the RPMs that you run at. Dextron II transmission 
fluid, or any hydraulic oil that meets specification C4, can be used 
in all applications, but 30 wt API-CD oil can only be used in 
applications where maximum RPMs is below 3000 RPMs.

This is from the Velvet Drive Marine Transmission Service Manual, 
Rev. 2, dated April 1 1994.


Take care and be safe.
