Just keep the resovoirs (sp?) up to level. Check oil condition by draining a small amount (egg cup full) out of drain plug, check it for water and check for particles on the drain plug magnet. Leg will refill from reservoir.
Note: if level goes down noticably, you need to check leg out as you have a problem developing.

Gimble bearing lube nipple, Quicksilver gimble bearing grease, give it about 7-8 strokes of the gun every year - 100hrs in fresh water, 6 months - 50 hrs salt.
Bravos do use a bit of oil so provided you don't see the resevoir drop too much you should be OK. There should also be a nipple inside the boat on the drive coupling (you may need to turn the motor to get it in position, use only the proper spline grease there.
