Dexron III. Don't use any synthetics in these tranny's.

Thanks for your post but the fluid is more clear than the red of dex 3 any other type used

Is it possible that whoever did the maint. on the boat before put the wrong fluids in it? Just a thought.

does it happen to look like a milkshake? hopefully the trans cooler is not bad. in any case i would drain and refill and you may need to do it more than once.

My cousin recently bought a 83 Nautique in "rough" condition. A buddy of mine who is a boat mech came over to give it a look and one of the first things he noticed was the tranny was filled with brake fluid. He said that when people have a problem with a slipping borg warner tranny they can prolong the issue (not fix) by adding this. Sure enough, once the case was cracked open, it needed a rebuild.
