[C320-list] Transmission Fluid

[Guy Henry]

I don't think you are looking at the right spot.  Without being on the boat,
I think that is the drain for the antifreeze, but I'm not certain without
seeing it.

The transmission filler/dip stick is on top of the transmission.  The
transmission is located directly aft of the engine, forward of the packing
gland.  The shifter cable connects to the transmission on the starboard
side.

The shop manual is on the Catalina 320 web site at

I can see what I think is the spot for the transmission oil, it's directly
below the dipstick for the engine oil and very close to the oil filter. Is
this the correct spot, it has a square bolt on it? I've got a picture I can
email if someone can give me their email to confirm.

We've done the engine oil easily and wondering if the transmission oil is a
similar process. Also, where do you suck it out from. Thanks.
