I have twin Bravo I drives with Merc drive lube monitors. The plastic
bottles were replaced about 8 years ago and are again leaking,
probably around the combination hose connection/low oil switch wires.
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.

THANKS in advance for any advice.

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.
