I have twin Bravo I drives with Merc drive lube monitors. �The plastic

Anyone have a suggestion for a substitute for the factory bottles? �I
could plumb both drives off of one oil tank, but would like the system
to include a float switch to warn of low level.


How often do drives lose the lube?

A bit hard to tell, since the bottles leak. Both drives have been
rebuilt within the last year, so I don't believe they leak much, if at
all.
