Recently purchased an old power boat with a 1978 Johnson 115hp. Drained the gear oil to find it very milky. Upon inspection of the drain plugs there seem to be no seals. Both the top and bottom ports seem to have blue rubber insert that is grooved on the exterior surface. Is it possible that these are the old seals wedged deep into the gear box or is this a rubber coating on the gear box and the previous owner ran it without drain plug seals?
