v-drive gear lube change?

How often should you change the gear lube in the v-drive unit? Since it is not exposed to combustion by products I would think not very often. Does anyone know the service interval?

I have Don's drawing, thanks. So the Exciter wire should be 14 AWG and do you know if it goes to its own special post on the alternator? Also, what are your feelings on fuse location?
