been reading lots about gear oil but probably easier just to ask? Running a Panther Jet.. (I know...the "Black Pump" of the jet drive family). I replaced the water seal and gear oil at the start of this summer and by the end of the season it looks exactly the same as when I started. My question is, am I doing any damage to the drive unit running it this way? And did I maybe do something wrong during install? (Have the Panther maint. manual and thought I followed it exactly). any/all advice appreciated.    Thx.  Vic

the milk .. .   are you talking about the  bowl oil  turning milky?  i have the same problem with my berk JC   and from what i have read it is the  bushing and seal in the rear ..   need to change them out..     i am not sure on the panthers  but it cant be to far off..   or  to different ..  i think.. i would  check  to be sure.

I will order another water seal from Panther (they aren't that expensive) just don't know what or when it went bad. Ran as it always has, just don't know if its causing probs down the line. Has your Panther had similar issues?   Thanks for the replies
