[jbrown5093 at yahoo.com]

Not at the boat but I seem to remember that the recommended out is stamped on the id plate. Something like 30w

The Yanmar Operators Manual says to use the same oil for the gear case as the crankcase.  However, my PO left a quart of CD 30 oil labeled "For Transmission" and a Yanmar (Japan) manual "Maintenance of Pleasureboat Diesel Engine - GM Series" aboard specifies CD 10W15 for engine and CD 30 for gear oil.  Since Believe's engine is the Japan version, I'm leaning toward the CD 30 oil.   Make sense?
