T&T: Twin Disk Transmission oil

[Peter Bennett]

Mine want 1.6 litres of SAE30 lube oil, but I haven't figured out how
to get the old oil out - the drain plug is too close to the hull to
get anything under it, and I can't get anything down either the
dipstick hole or the fill hole to suck the oil out.

If you go to Twin Disc's website, and look at the FAQ list -
http://www.twindisc.com/MarineProducts/MarineFAQ.aspx
you'll see that a number of the FAQs have a link to their "Operators
Manual" which covers most of their transmissions.  The web site
doesn't seem to list the MG502, but it is mentioned in that manual.
