Over the years the PRM marine gearbox range has been improved and the model numbers have been changed. If you have an older PRM model still in service please refer to the appropriate new model number for more information.

The table below shows the range of old PRM gearboxes that are no longer in production. The table shows when the production of the gearbox ceased and the current equivalent gearbox mode.

Oil

A mechanical gearbox (PRM 60, 80, 90, 120 or 125) must use automatic transmission fluid (ATF) Dextron II or III

Hydraulic gearboxes, we recommend 15W40 mineral oil (not synthetic) for typical use. For extreme temperatures see owners handbook.

Always check the oil level with the dipstick screwed down.
Refer to workshop manual for more details.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: ONLY REMOVE BREATHER, DIP STICK, OIL DRAIN PLUG OR OIL LEVEL PLUG ONCE THE GEARBOX IS AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. REMEMBER HOT OIL CAN CAUSE BURNS – WORK SAFELY.
