Now bear in mind this applies to that trans v drive combo....10-05-005...
I have been thinking about doing this job in the spring. I assume it is just extracted via the dipstick opening, then repeat that process a couple of times.

Re: Changing Velvet V drive oil
Actually they say you can pump it out using the bottom hose but I don't like undoing things that don't leak....according to BW the reason for the mobil 424 was better seal life and less leak chances...... :beer good:
Edit Oh to add ,the only reason I did this was I am an idiot...when checking trans fluid, being used to the old velvet drive dipstick with the notch, I thought the stick was in locked but as I found out it was not and pumped some oil into bilge.....lucky that previous people that serviced this boat had a penchant for overfilling things so just a big mess to clean up....woops, all good now...
