    Drifter – I did a little more looking around this evening and find that the Quicksilver brand gear lubes are rated GL-4 so would contain a lower content of the sulfur additive which has been blamed for damage to brass or bronze. The Quicksilver Premium Gear Lube is specifically recommended for all outboards below 75hp (except for OMC electric shift units), so that might be a good choice.
