Can't answer everything but will start. Rudder Lube: Marine grease in the grease fittings, mine has 2, on the rudder shaft inside your bilge area. Tranny: No drain hole. Unless you are rebuilding the trans, which you are not, you must suck it out with a pump through the dipstick. If you suck it out, a good proportion of the tranny fluid will still be in there and if you want to completely change the fluid you will need to flush it, or suck it out repeatedly after operating it. For maintenance, I just suck out what I can and top off, though when I got water in it, I had to suck it out about 6 times. I do not have a Supra, but mine uses MercronIII tranny fluid - your owners manual should tell you what fluid to use. V-drive: Also suck and refill from dip stick. Mine uses straight 30W oil. I'm not real clear on detergent vs. non-detergent. There was a post on this issue and it seems either was OK. Any other opinions? (Message edited by bmartin on August 12, 2008)
